Very, very late I know! I save the WDE images for times when I have time to play. Painted on 9×12 YUPO with watercolors and purple marker and a little salt. A mess, but fun. Here it is, warts and all after 2 hours.

It says dandelions to me loud and clear, Kate, and has all their characteristics, too. This is just lovely!!!

This is beautiful. I love the way you have used the marker to pull the dandelions out of the background.

Hey Kate, lovely work on the dandelions. Lovely depiction of texture and your balance of strong and soft lines.

I’m glad you had time to develop it.
Big congrats from my part
Sandy.

WOW!!! I love this, Kate. The unbridled bursts of color, the robust flowers, the cool blue at bottom right, the yellow spots like cascading sunlight — it is all so delicious! I’m glad you saved the original image so you could create this marvelous painting.
