Gloriosas in Excelsis

These are some gloriosa daisies growing at Descanso Gardens in Los Angeles - where my art show will be starting tomorrow! I like to work in both watercolor and oil. This is a watercolor painting, actual size 11 x 15.

Sorry I won't have time for squiggles, but if you look carefully there are some squiggly flower bits here and there.

How It Works

Weekly Challenge - Every Monday a new challenge will be posted. That challenge ends two weeks after it begins. In other words, you have two weeks to complete each challenge - a new challenge each week and each challenge lasts 2 weeks so there are always 2 overlapping challenges. A "winner" will be chosen for the challenge of two weeks previous and posted. The winner and the new challenge will be posted by the host each Monday (hopefully).

If you win the weekly contest then you cannot win again for 4 weeks... that way everyone else has a chance.
