Bright Breeze – Whimsical blue, green and pink wildflowers painted in watercolour on watercolour paper
It’s early Autumn here, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it! We are still having summer weather. I love the feeling of a cool early morning breeze in early spring I get from this painting.

Autumn Tempus – Whimsical watercolour painting of swirly autumn trees in red and green
In case you can’t already tell, I love painting trees! I especially love painting trees in a whimsical, rather than true-to-life, way. Sometimes this manifests as swirling branches:

Memories of spring – watercolour painting of gold and purple flowers by Kirsten Bailey
The inspiration for this painting was a posy of wildflowers, picked in the spring and beginning to dry and wilt as spring moves in to summer. Painted in shimmery gold paint, this painting is prettier in person than it is on the screen!

Contemplation – intuitive abstract watercolour painting on paper in coral, yellow and turquoise by klbaileyart
I called this painting ‘contemplation’ because this style of painting is very meditative to me. I never know what the finished painting is going to be like when I begin – I just go with the flow, and see where the paint takes me. I love this combination of colours!
