Amaryllis in bloom January 2009

These are the amaryllis watercolor paintings I have been working on this past week. I made a painting once or twice a day while it was opening up - I swear if I had the patience to just sit and watch I could have seen it growing before my eyes.

This is the series of watercolors I made on narrow sheets of watercolor paper


At this point I had to turn the sheet to capture the blossom!
