Camellia

A few weeks ago I drove up to Perry, Georgia to see my sister.  Living in Florida in the winters gives me a chance not only to see my sister on occasion but to see the early spring bird migrations and the blossoming of spring flowers in the South. It was peak season for camellias in Georgia and we had a chance to drive out to the Massee Lane Gardens in Fort Valley, Georgia. This botanical garden is a visual treat and we saw an amazing collection of camellias.

So I decided to do a watercolor painting of a camellia. I will be showing the painting tomorrow at the Spring Craft Show in Mount Dora, Florida.  If you are around come see the image on my Trivets, Placemats, and Coasters! Looks like its going to be a great spring weekend!  Hope to see you there.
