These paintings are not new. I made them back in the early 90’ies and they are some of my very first paintings in watercolor ever. I remember it was early spring, and I had brought two crocuses inside and arranged them in a tiny glass of water. Painting them was difficult, as I tried very hard to keep those thin delicate lines on each leave white. That’s a difficult task. But considering those two paintings were my very first, I think I did a good job.
For decades the two paintings have lived a life on my kitchen walls. I know my mom loves them, so I decided to use the paintings to create a birthday card for her a week back. The original paintings have somewhat faded by now, but scanning them I was able to color correct them, to restore them to their former glory. It was nice seeing them again, as they looked when they were new.
