Blue, white...and a couple of hippies

I've just finished another watercolour in the blue and white series I started a few days ago. My mum has been a collector of blue and white china since I was a child, so I guess it stands to reason I'm quite partial to it myself. Here's painting #2:

and here's painting #1


Oh, and aren't these hippeastrums lovely? A friend gave me some bulbs last year, and after all the rain we've had, they've burst into bloom. I think they'll make an appearance in one of my paintings very soon!


        oh, and there's a peek at the background of my next painting




It's taken me ages to load these photos - yet again, blogger is being very uncooperative. The joys of technology!

  4. How lovely are the day lillies!

    My garden is full too. Was such a nice surprise in the first spring in our home when these bloomed and coloured the garden.

  12. Lovely painting. I love ginger jars. They remond me of my granny who used to actually store her ginger in her. You are very talented.

  13. Those are beautiful Kerri, something about blue and white looks even better when I see all the detail in a painting!
    Switch to WordPress, it's worth the momentary agony.
