AMARYLLIS GLOW
Painted with Watercolor & Ink
I think I used 5 reds in the glaze on these flowers...:)
Everyone should have the experience of watching one of these bare brown bulbs in a pot begin to grow. They are rather amazing in the speed with which they grow and bloom. It seems like an inch or two a day...and then suddenly you have a large plant with brilliant blooms.
My family tells me the story of me as a little girl age 3-4 when my dad bought one of these as a gift for my mom. Every day I listened to them discuss this fantastic plant and the speed with which it was growing......and finally it opened...a huge flower....and what did I do as a little girl...??? I picked it of course and present the flower and stalk to my mother!!...:)
