Dahlia blossoms are so beautifully complex. It was one of my biggest watercolor challenges yet to capture their delicate texture of layered petals. I have many more blossoms coming on in my garden, that should keep coming until frost, so there is plenty of time to continue painting them. This is a lesson in persistence!
Persistence and resilience only come from having been given the chance to work though difficult problems.
I did try painting them a couple of years ago. After completing this painting, I got those older ones out and reworked them.
