Cockscomb Flower

watercolor on paper, 22x30

“Cockscomb is a favorite flower in

China, where it’s extensively

planted in some areas of the

countryside. This bright red flower

symbolizes happiness and

well-being.”

Red Bandana
watercolor on paper, 23x20
“I edited out much of the detail in my
reference photo, giving it a dreamlike
quality that enhanced the visual appeal.
By dropping multiple colors into each
area of the painting, I was able to further
that fantasylike feeling.”
