I was going to do a “quick” study in watercolour of this still life and then a second painting in oil, but the so-called “quick” study ended up taking me a few hours to do so I only have the one painting. I’ll have to see how long the flowers last so I could maybe do a second painting from them. I always feel satisfyingly thrifty when I get two paintings out of one bouquet — like I got a really good 2 for 1 deal — even when I get the flowers for free from my garden.
