"Daylilies grow wild near our creek and inspired this painting. I had never appreciated the range of colors in what I always thought of as orange petals, until I analyzed them close enough to reproduce them realistically. I did a small daylily painting first, on canvas, in an opaque acrylic style. I loved how it came out, and decided to do another view, in a watercolor manner on paper, using the paper itself for the whites of the subject, and glazing layer upon layer of transparent pigment. |

| In both paintings, I contrasted the vivid colors against the shaded background, throwing the rest out of focus, to make the flower the star of the painting. On the larger painting above, I decided the image would be more interesting if I turned the paper on the diagonal, and that is how it is matted and framed also. I compared the two paintings when I had finished the second, and surprised myself with how different they looked to me." | |
