Last year, I photographed dahlias at the botanical garden in Fort Bragg, California. It has taken me this long to finally paint from those.

This flower seemed to glow from within, with delicate pinks layered over pale yellow on the inner parts of the petals.

I've been working on this water color off and on over this last week. Time to stop fussing and getting to some of those other reference photos of these wildly varied flowers.
