Begonia Floor Show 1 – Namoi Brotherton

Begonia Floor Show 1

Framed 25.5 x 29.75

Watercolor

Oh, there it was… my next subject, a beautiful potted begonia plant begging to be painted.  My studio partner had brought it for his class to arrange on a small table but he had left it on the floor.  I liked the unusual concept of looking down on it like a map.
So I started painting on the nearest watercolor paper without much thought about the placement on the rectangle.  The color was working well, so I laid another paper next to it so as to include the other objects on the floor. The long stems of the lotus pods helped establish the floor concept.
This became a diptych. The two paintings are framed separately, each signed by the artist, and hung side by side, or purchased separately. Either way they make a unique design.
