'white flowers and orange berries' ( water colour ) Dec. 14, 2010.

I  loved  painting this tree!  I was out in the yard, and looked up, and the flowers and berries?? against the sky, were so beautiful. I had to get my camera.  This is the result of today's efforts.. no drawing.. only painting, and remembering some of  Jackie Hinkson's techniques...

I am still trying to figure out how to get a smooth and brush free background.. am working on it!  And I forgot to leave quite enough white space for the full flowers of this beautiful photograph, when I was doing the back ground 'wash'.  That is one of the drawbacks of not drawing it.. got carried away with the blue!
