Quarry geranium I love the delicate flowers

I love the delicate flowers hiding in the background like memories from past garden seasons

verdant meadows

At this point

It is one in a collection of four flower paintings

I printed a layer of dark ink to make their colorful watercolored wings glow

Quarry geranium I love the delicate flowersTwice, I thought this painting was finished and exhibited it in gallery shows. But when it came back the last time, I felt it was still missing something, and I'd continue to work on it. This is the final version. I titled it Quarry because if you unearthed the previous layers, you would find a wealth of "gems" hidden below the surface.
