Summer Day Lily

Orange Day Lily on Patterned Plate watercolor on paper 11 x 14 BUY NOW
 Once again our yard is in full bloom with day lilies.  I am forever appreciative of the former residents that planted just about every color and variety of day lily.  They are beautiful and I look forward to this time of year.  I'm sharing my day lily painting with you.  I plan on doing another one as soon as I'm finished with my commissioned painting that I'm working on.

Hope everyone is having a fabulous Memorial Day weekend.  As a military wife I am certainly thankful for all of our men and women serving our country past and present.

  5. Carrie! I love this painting. The plate looks perfect with the flower (or vice-versa)! Guessing Polish Pottery! Glad you got to enjoy the pool with the kids. I hope your commissioned piece is coming along with ease and that you're not fretting over it too much! Can't wait to see what all your stress has been over!
