I hope everyone are having a great Friday! I keep advancing in this Parisian urban painting. Details are everything in a painting 🎨 🥰

Enjoyed the 'Art In Bloom' exhibit at the #NorthCarolina Art Museum. Artists are tasked with creating a floral display that represents a picture or grouping of pictures. Here are a few I loved. I've tried to show the floral display with the art piece it represents.

For #FlowerFriday I have chosen to showcase the #TulipTarda which is a wild dwarf species that is #perennial and self seeding. The showy clumps have a honey fragrance and a buttery yellow star with a cream edging that remind me of #friedeggs.

The ray florets are uneven, with slightly ruffled edges, and the centre shows a puffed up ring of opened disk florets, with a darker brown centre. Rain drops rest on a few petals, the light is muted as in a rainy fay, and there are some blurred green leaves in the background.

#flowers #flowerfriday #horticulture #gardening #ranunculus

Bought some lovely Ranunculus today. Weird name, beautiful flowers.

Ranunculus are hardy Springtime bloomers, which like to be planted in winter. They are perennials that can be left in the ground, or the bulbs can be recovered, stored, and planted the following year, like annuals.

They bloom 3-4 weeks, require full sun, and produce gorgeous blooms. They're also deer resistant!

A beautiful white Ranunculus flower with reddish-purple tipping, near fully bloomed. It is surrounded by yellow Ranunculus in various states of bloom.

This is a watercolor painting in a rectangle format. It is a still life of some pansies, and the pansies are in a glass jar, which is a vintage jar with a blue handle. It is painted loosely yet has a lot of details in the flowers. There are a lot of leaves in green yellow and a mix of colors. The pansies are mostly blue with some accent of purple in various shades. The painting is translucent..

The woods in #Guelph #Ontario Canada were filled with both the white and red #Trillium #wildflowers that covered the forest floor beautifully in #spring. This particular patch was quite lovely with the fallen trees framing the Trillium patch and the dappled light highlighting these gems.

Scorpion Tails just beginning to bloom. As they open along the stalk, it curves into a scorpion tail shape.

Wild lupins are abundant along the Garden Path. There are several varieties, these have very thin leaves.

California (or Mexican) Poppies are a perennial favorite. They bloom orange, yellow and occasionally white.

I had a ranunculus flower that was slowly changing color from a reddish purple to a bluish purple. I think I've exaggerated the blue a bit, but that's what you get to do, they call it poetic license😂

It comes in fine, art prints, and more....

This is a square format. It features a bluish color ranunculus. It is a watercolor painting. There's a lot of little petals and leaves around the bigger, ranunculus flower. It is painted in the new style. It also has purple aqua, Green and it's on a white background there are some little berries towards the top.

Spring is here! From this morning: a Padre or Cleveland Shooting Star (Primula clevelandii) in a meadow glistening with morning dew.

Photographed at 500mm with "Big Bertha", my 200-500 telezoom. Being further away from the flower (minimum focusing distance is ~6 feet with this lens) helps to have more sparkly stuff in the out-of-focus areas in front of the flower. :)

It's Friday, so that means I will post some flowers #flowerfriday . I think I unconsciously painted this in the colors of a beautiful sunset. For the last few years, I've been excited about using rose gold in my art. In order to achieve the color, I just took some gold gouache paint, and mixed it with some rose. It took me a while to figure that out..LOL

#AYearForArt #Flowers #Pink #Watercolor #Floralart #FediGiftShop #MastoArt

This is an elongated rectangle format. It is a watercolor, painting, it features loosely painted flowers. The flowers are somewhat abstract. There is a lot of pink, rose, gold, classic gold, tiny, brushstrokes accents of blue and purple throughout the painting there are some little lines and dots.

Every 4th of July a family reunion is tradition. Of course, I love seeing all the relatives but I always enjoy a visit to my aunt that lives in the country. She has not only great flowers all around but lots of yard decorations, too. This plant was growing next to a shed and I really didn't notice the spider silk until I uploaded it to my computer....and it looked like it was…

Seems like it's almost obligatory to post a "first crocus" photo so here's mine. This is a "volunteer" in my lawn and I don't know where it came from. It's unlike the ones in my flower beds. It's one of my markers to indicate the changing of the seasons. Very early this year. Last year it bloomed on March 7. Of course it was 70 degrees F (21 C) here today! NOT NORMAL for New England!

@doctorjaymarie Here's a Phacelia minor (Calif. bluebell) for ya. But it ain't spring yet. Another couple of months before I see these guys in my garden again. At least for me, photography is seasonal. It makes it special to have a spring season and fall season. Celebrate the seasons! But a #FlowerFriday is cool too.

Every so often when I put my intention to paint using a limited pallet, it actually works. This time I stuck with the blues and the greens.

Available at:
https://fineartamerica.com/featured/delphinium-and-eucalyptus-bouquet-sue-zipkin.html?newartwork=true

This is a watercolor painting in a rectangle format. It is in blues and greens. It is painted loosely, there are lots of blue flowers in the middle, and there are delicate leaves surrounding the main blue flowers. The flowers look like abstracted delphinium, there is also eucalyptus greenery.

This classic, elegant, pure white #Clematis, Henryi, blooms all summer and is quite showy on the trellis or arbor. Clematis like their "head" in the sun and their "feet" in the shade so a rock at the base of the vine or another plant helps to shade the roots.

Closeups of the week from our garden

* Tufted Leaf Sedge (Cyperus eragrostis)
* The Sea Holly (Eryngium 'Blue Hobbit') stems just keep getting bluer!
* After the Smoke Bush (aka Cloud Tree - Cotinus 'Grace') has flowered, it leaves these wispy structures for a little while
* Gaura lindheimeri (I think it's Siskiyou Pink).

Close up of clusters of red and green structures (I think they're seed pods) radiating out from a central stem. Each is oval with a slightly jagged each, looking like the flower structure of a bromeliad.

Taken in the drainage ditch just behind our back fence. It's not strictly speaking "in" our garden, but it's within 50cm of it, so I'm taking ownership here!

Intense dark-blue stems of an eryngium, where one splits into three with a rosette of sharp leaves around the join. Close-up view

Thin stems covered in hair point in random directions, looking like spider's legs. They criss-cross and overlap. The background is blurred, being the rest of the plant itself

Seen in close-up, a single pale pink flower with darker pink veins and long stamens clutches onto a flower stem. Just next to it, the buds of more flowers yet to open curls upward, dark-furred.

This picture is one of my favorites. It’s pretty simple and kind of just looks like a default desktop wallpaper but I didn’t do anything to the colors. They just looked like that. I mean it technically is my desktop wallpaper but that’s besides the point lol. #insects #butterfly #FlowerFriday #ButterFlyday

A monarch butterfly with its wings spread on a group of yellow flowers. They are set against a flat blue cloudless sky. The colors are all quite vivid and bright

My slowest and longest #PhotographyProject is photographing native plants in San Diego County. The latest "plant portrait" that I added is one for Palafoxia arida, commonly known as Desert Needle.

This is a macro photo of the inflorescence — vertical, might need a click! — and the rest of the photos are on my website:

Macro photo of a delicate desert plant's flower head, showing multiple individual flowers with white and pink petals. The depth of field is very limited and the background is entirely soft and blurred in grey-green tones.
