Fuchsia's Mystery

This was a fun fuchsia painting and named appropriately Fuchsia's Mystery since I couldn't remember the name of the flower without the help of the friends here on my blog. Thank You!

One of the things I actually had trouble with is trying to get the water blossom effect on the painting. It was really difficult! which is funny since when I started painting I was a master at creating them. Maybe it was because I was using 330lb paper? well anyway, I was able to create some but not easily.

I'm going to continue defining the leaves but wanted to do a posting since I've been away so long.
