Ebb & Flow

A loose bouquet of flowers painted from flowers given to me by my friend Paula. Paula has the most beautiful garden that is lush and full of flowers. Every time I see her she brings me a bucket of flowers to display around my home. It’s such a joy to paint these! This painting contains roses, dahlias, cosmos, and others!

This original painting is 10x14 inches on watercolor paper. It does not come framed or matted.

What’s better than roses? Wild roses! I love seeing them throughout the summer in the hedgerows and dunes. They vary from creamy white to deep pink and are so beautifully fragrant. This sweet watercolor painting is of some lovely roses spotted up on the Causeway Coast. If you look closely you’ll notice the stem changes from green to deep red and there’s actually so much color in these flowers. They are such a delight to see and paint! This painting would pair well with Wild Roses I.

This original painting is 7.5 x 10.5 inches on watercolor paper. It does not come framed or matted.

Hawthorn, also known as May blossom or white thorn is also referred to as the Fairy Tree for it’s said to guard the entrance to the fairy realm. It’s bad luck to harm a hawthorn tree.

They’re creamy white flowers fill the hedgerows with blooms in the spring and turn pink as they fade and wilt.

There is so much folklore and Irish mythology surrounding blackthorn trees. They are sometimes referred to as fairy trees as it’s believed that fairies live in them and if you cut them down bad things will happen. They are one of the first flowers you see in late winter/early spring. The dark black thorny branches are covered in creamy white flowers that give the promise that spring is coming and soon everything else will begin to bloom in the hedgerows. On a cold, crisp day they are such a beautiful sight.
