A Garden Outing

On a lovely breezy day, I got to paint phloxes and lilies. Both of these flowers were growing in my grandma's tiny street garden under her window, and both of these flowers smell like summer holidays for me. So I reminisced, sniffed, sneezed, and smiled while painting these. 

I was using my gouache and watercolor palette (freshly refilled) plus some pre-mixed gouache paints and got overwhelmed by the colors. I will pay more attention to shapes next time - unless colors swipe me away again :) Perhaps I might invite Suhita to this place and learn working with her amazing new black and white minimal kit - that should do it!
