Dahlia Mania!

 The Dahlias just keep on blooming and I keep on painting. This is the second large one painted on 200 pound watercolor paper.  These heavy papers respond differently from the 140 pound paper I normally use.  They are all good.







There are many varieties of dahlias that just ask to be painted.  This one is called "Catsup and Mustard."  Which I call "The Condiments!"



 I will be teaching a watercolor class on painting dahlias next week so I have been experimenting with different techniques on postcard size paper.  Good practice!
