"Arizona Apricot Flower" … a blanket flower, also known as a Gaillardia …

I hand painted this one, digitally, iin #Rebelle with their and Karen Bonaker's great watercolor brushes from a photo I took a while back at the local nursery. Honestly it started out just as a doodle. I left it alone, then came back to it, and came back … trying different things. Finally decided it was kind of cute, so up it went onto my website. 😊 (it's not Ai)

A serene abstract landscape features a vibrant forest and sky with hues of orange, purple, and blue blending smoothly. The calm lake reflects the colorful sky and silhouettes of distant trees.

"Dreaming In Color" … my newest is a fun abstract-y thing created in #CorelPainter freehand, from my imagination.
