A mason jar is one of the prettiest things around the kitchen! Serve creamy coffee in it, sip lemonade from it or….stick some pretty flowers into it and uplift the energy of the room!

The water turns a pretty shade of lilac as I paint some hydrangeas. And as the morning light dances on the bowl, the color comes to life…..
and so do the hydrangeas…
…..and lots of them!
Here is my latest watercolor floral art that I want to share with you.
Most of the time I paint roses, poppies, sunflowers and lavender, but this time I tried painting plumerias, hollyhocks, and crocuses. Even though I do not have a green thumb, I love painting flowers.
Painting hydrangeas was so much fun. The trick to painting them is you start with the central blossoms coloring them a little darker and as you get to the ones in the periphery you lighten up the shade.
Believe it or not, I found painting the plumerias most difficult even though they look pretty simple! My favorite however was the hollyhocks!!
