I have a bit of a reputation for backgrounds, but for this I decided to leave the background as the white of the paper. I think it works really well, letting the echinacea take centre stage with no distractions!

I just discovered you watercolor site. Your paintings make my heart skip a beat. Just beautiful.
Welcome to my blog roll! I am enjoying browsing through your site and will have to check in frequently.
I love the way you wove the one stem through the petals of the flower beside it, makes for a much more charming painting. While I find most botanical paintings a bit technical and boring with the white background, this one sings with light and warmth.
Very nice work!
