I am happy with the revision of “Helleborus”, or as some know this flower as “Spring Rose”. I changed the background, lightened up the leaves and some of the flowers, and added more flowers to the table cloth. I have a few more paintings I did in my early days of painting I want to revise and will share those with you now and then. What do you think of the revision, (the painting below the first one)?
Helleborus I – design #161
My first painting of “Helleborus”, painted 2016, one year after I first started painting in watercolor. Check out my revision of this painting, done May, 2023, below this one.
Helleborus II – design #334
“Helleborus”, REVISED!! May, 2023. I love it now. Don’t give up on painting!
Painting can be a challenge, but we all learn along the way. I have such a love of color, nature, paper, and design and love to create beautiful art for all to enjoy. I love to share God’s beauty and share that with others, one painting at a time.

Hello Everyone, It’s a wonderful time of year to get inspired to paint those beautiful flowers, or whatever else you can see and enjoy around you. I’m so happy I captured these Lilacs in a photograph as they do not last very long on the bush.
