Blue Salvia, Daisy ~ "Tranquility" ~ "Songbirds & Friends" ~ Watercolor

This one is pure stillness -- no bird at all, just the quiet of the flowers themselves. Spires of blue salvia stand cool and tall, white daisies open between them, and buttercups catch the low gold light underneath. After the busier pieces in the collection -- the darting hummingbirds, the bold woodpecker -- I wanted one that simply breathes, a held moment with nothing to chase.

Blue is the most peaceful color in a garden, and salvia gives it in long, calm verticals; the daisies keep it open and gentle; the buttercups warm it. Together they slow your pulse a little. I painted it the way I paint all of these -- wet-on-wet, in layers, with no drawing underneath -- letting the washes stay soft and unforced so the calm feels real rather than arranged.

An original watercolor on paper, one of a kind. 'Tranquility' -- a quiet corner of the garden, made to settle a room.
