Delphiniums
Mixed Irises
Sunflower
xxxxx
I painted the each of the flowers using 'wet-on-wet', rather than on dry silk. The background to the delphiniums was achieved by dropping colour onto wet silk; the background in the Mixed Irises, had table salt as a resist; and grains of sea salt on a wet background were used for the sunflower painting.

Just gorgeous! They look almost like stained glass.
A warm welcome, Friend, to our little corner of paradise. Thank you for the lovely compliment. I am enjoying working with silk in the company of very kind friends :)
Oh, my! How beautiful! Do you sell them W.G.?
These are beautiful. Nicer even than a regular water colour, the effect is so pretty on the silk.
Wonderful. I've never attempted silk painting but these are a glorious mix of texture and colour.
I feel so priviledged to see your work. It's beautiful.
Hey WG, these are just exquisite..I love them.. You have truly outdone yourself.
These are breathtaking!!! Wow, beauties, all of them.
Beautiful and lovely are all that you share.
Blessings of love health peace and joy~

These are beautiful!
I love the wet on wet look, I have used silk salts, but never table salt, I am always afrais it would harm the silk...
The water colors are nice, It must be hard to capture expressions in water colors..
THANK YOU!
Would love to see more art! Have you created any lately.
Gosh! It's such a long time since I looked in here...
* Welcome, Sorrow, and thank you for searching out my painting blog. I have not posted here much recently as I have been so busy helping my 83 year-old mum-in-law...thank you for the lovely complimets :)
* Sandy, I hope to get started soon on some family portraits. Unfortunately, I will not put them on the blog for reasons of privacy. I will, however, scan some of my other work when I have time to do some :)
~ The painting of the SunFlower is my favorite . . . i always love how the sunflower brings warmth, joy to the garden and seeds for people and birds to enjoy too!

lovely work.
How about some photo's of poppy paintings? hint hint!
Welcome, dear Sorrow...there are three from the past earlier in this blog...but, I hope to do some in the autumn... :)
Beautiful paintings!
Can't wait to see more beautiful paintings from you some day. Are you still painting at all?
These are amazing! Painting on silk? Wow, beautiful.
Thanks for stopping by my Art Blog.
Wow, you are painting again. I'm been remiss to come by, but I will be regular from now on.
Love what you have done on the silk... lovely. Like a mosaic.
My brushes were on the back burner too long. Had a six month MasterLife Bible Study that took so much of my time, but Wednesday is our last session!!!!
Thanks for your visit and comment on my birds blog.
I read, with interest, your description of how you get your different backgrounds on silk. What you do on silk is what I used to do on paper. I just got a set of gouache colors and dug out my old brushes and will begin it all over again one of these days.
