Rhododendrons Under The Sun- Original Watercolour Painting Buddleia Framed in a lush black

Framed in a lush black stained wood frame

I had to study this scene well as I haven’t been there myself

These are limited edition prints and printed with archival non-fade inks on 225 gsm Somerset archival inkjet paper

Rhododendrons Under The Sun- Original Watercolour Painting Buddleia Framed in a lush blackWell, what can I say?! Arguably one of my best paintings ever!!

Here watercolour was able to play to its strengths and showcase these gorgeous flowers in all their glory! Elevating ordinary flowers and making people stop and wonder at their beauty has been one
