I was truly able to indulge my fascination with water droplets by painting “Camellias in the Rain.”
I had already dealt with patiently masking flower petals on my earlier painting of Camellias. However, now I found myself masking hundreds of tiny water droplets upon both the petals and leaves.

Thank you, Katherin. It’s one of the few paintings of mine that I truly feel could make a nice art print. Most of my subject matter is food related. I’m actually planning to see if I can sell prints of this one. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Dear Judy,
I hope that life has treated you reasonably well, and that the summer heat has not been too overwhelming.
You camellias are so luscious indeed!
By the way, I have just fixed the link that will take you to the brand new “Conclusions” section that I mentioned in my latest reply to you at my post “🏛️⚖️ The Facile and Labile Nature of Law: Beyond the Supreme Court and Its Ruling on Controversial Matters 🗽🗳️🔫🤰🧑🤝🧑💉”. Hopefully, you will find something to your liking in the “Conclusions”.
Wishing you a wonderfully productive August doing, enjoying or blogging whatever that satisfies you the most!
Yours sincerely,
SoundEagle
