A Splash of Colour

In my part of the world, we are in middle of a drought, officially declared last week. We have quite severe water restrictions so the garden which is my greatest love after art is suffering. However I have managed to get colour with two of my favourite flowers – geraniums and fuchsias. They seem to like the dry very much as they have grown to triffid like proportions.
 
Today I decided to do a quick watercolour of the geraniums at the back.
Here are some photos of my love splashes of colour that greet me everyday of the year in my garden. 


 Have a happy Sunday and week creating wonderful art everyone.

  4. For being in a drought your garden looks lovely! Our grass is brown from lack of watering and rain. I like the washy look of your painting today!
