Pink Roses In Watercolor

Roses are my favorite. Pink Roses are symbolic representations of love, gratitude and appreciation. They exude such graceful elegance which one can hardly ignore. The pink blooms are truly majestic. I consider them to be the best gifting option for all occasions.

Happy Rose Day

HAPPY ROSE DAY!

Roses are romantic, adding different shades to one's love life! heart emoticon

As the Valentine's Day is coming, one thing I have observed is that the markets, card stores and gift shops etc. all are being flooded with hearts and red roses. The prices of red roses shoots up like anything during the Valentine's week and specially on Rose Day which is celebrated on February 7 every year. The demand for roses increases tremendously. Their abundance is intoxicating at times. But, you can't deny the fact that hearts and red roses are the symbols of 'Love'. And Valentine's Day is one such time to express your love and give gifts. As you all will agree that Love is the most wonderful feeling.

Rose Day is the first day of Valentine's week, also referred as 'love week'. The countdown has begun... and lovers are really looking forward to it. They start planning in advance - how they'll make their near and dear ones feel extra special. Are you thinking of ways to impress your beloved? Then, there is a whole range of products to choose from such as unique gifts/ cards/ cakes/ flowers/ chocolates/ teddies/ mugs/ cushions etc.

Here are some roses to add to the love and joy on this Rose Day :)

Celebrate the season of love...  <3 <3 <3

Pretty Pink Daisies

This week my choice of flower is "Daisy". Pretty Pink Daisies - fabulous flowers... I love painting on this subject. Why? 
The reason being its simplicity and innocence that it portrays. Also they are exquisite, visually appealing and always attract my undivided attention. They are my favorite. They are just so pretty!

These delicate flowers seem to be overflowing with happiness. Often, they are regarded as a symbol of purity especially the white ones. The cut Gerbera daisies make stunning bouquets and indoor flower arrangements. I have a deep personal liking for these stylish and sophisticated flowers. I bet their mere presence will brighten any occasion with their brilliant hues.

A simple fact about them which I also didn't know till now that they are named after a German botanist Traugott Gerber.

In this floral watercolor painting, I have painted pink daisies. The stem is generally upright and support the flower. Its center has a brown core. These are perfect summer floral plants, found in a wide variety of shades of white, pink, yellow, orange, red and purple. The daisy flowers are phototrophic which means that they always turn towards the source of light like sunflowers and belong to the sunflower family.

Here's the artwork in progress:

Oh! And did I tell you that how much I enjoyed painting these florets, with my favorite music put on and how the brush strokes were just going with the flow. In the end, I was quite pleased with the finished painting...

Have a nice weekend!
