I'm so impressed with your beautiful drawing of these Peruvian lilies!
I have enjoyed the use of watercolor pencils. Especially the Inktense brand!
You captured the delicacies quite well!

What's the deal. No need for interpretation or speculation.
Lol... Very nice line drawing of a very delicate collection of lilies. The light-handed application of the pastel colors and well-defined petals flowing up and down the page would make a gorgeous stencil or decal.

Beautiful depiction of these lilies Ray! They are one of my favourites. Great use of colour and your use of the page makes for a nice composition. Beautifully done

    Daphne, Thank you for this wonderful review and rating. This piece is 20 years old, and an Illustrative style around the time I did a portrait of my daughter Pamela which is in my portfolio using watercolor pencils. The previous post Haboob was created around the same period as this piece. I was experimenting with quick representational paintings that were done in less than 30 seconds. Same time period different styles, but both part of the journey. I really enjoy abstract fantasy. So after your strong but fair, previous review, I felt a need to post a different style piece and maybe more to your liking. I got lucky, it worked and again thank you for the wonderful review and rating and compliments on my signature. Ray

Hi Ray, Love the beautiful curve of your lily line! When you add that to the soft barely seen colors of the lilies it paints a lovely delicate view of the flowers. I love the way your flowers flow across the page. Very nicely done! Sending you my last six star review! :o) Nancy

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that lovely plant. Like the petal detail. Colours, textures and tones are good. Nicely drawn!

This has turned out very nicely, it has a faded vintage impressionism feel about it. The arrangement is artistic botany style. The blooms have good form ...would be interesting to see this with water added

    Brenda, thank you for the wonderful comments and review. I was hesitant to use the water because there is no going back. Ray

    Dont be a coward. Print this on art quity paper them do the original with water .. thus you have nearly the best of both worlds.

This is so pretty and so nicely done. I love the light colours and how you drew this with watercolour pencils. Love the way it flows on the part as well. It's really really lovely. I would love a copy of this to print for my sunroom. Beautiful! Linda
