Beautiful Flowers: Roses and Other Cuties
Today, I wanted to write a little short blog about flowers. It doesn’t matter where I go. If I see a flower, I am compelled to photograph it. I didn’t see too many flowers variety when I was down in Mexico. There were a few interesting ones here and there. The entrance to Xcaret also had an interesting looking flower bowl. All in all, I didn’t photograph that many flowers. I suppose that the summer heat did a number on the flowers. The place was practically boiling in some places, like the Mayan Pyramids of...
Blue Morpho and Black Butterflies Watercolor Paintings
I got around to posting my two new watercolor paintings. They are based on butterflies I photographed in the wild. The wild is a bit of an exaggeration. I saw them in a butterfly preserve in Key West. It still works just as well. It is interesting to experience butterflies with your own two eyes, in the real world. I have a serious bug phobia. Still, that doesn’t stop me from appreciating the beauty of butterflies. As long as they do not land on me, I can be super peachy about it. The other part of the painting is choosing...
Tiger Longwing Butterfly, Siproeta stelenes and Others Watercolor Art
Today, I wanted to show you my latest watercolor butterfly paintings. I try to paint two of these watercolor paintings per week. It is a nice change of pace from my regular art projects. In the background, I am working on the latest Scary Cat Children’s Book and the Sacred Mask 5. Both take time to develop. For now, I am going to focus on my new watercolor paintings. All these butterflies can be seen in the Butterfly Preserve of Key West. I do not think they are native butterflies to Florida. I was only able to find the names...
Priam’s Birdwing Butterfly and Others Watercolor Painting
It is so difficult to identify butterflies when you only have a photograph to work with. It was easy for me to guess what they were if I photographed them in the wild. The ones you see in these two watercolor paintings were photographed in the Key West Butterfly preserve. They are not native to Florida, but the preserve provides them with all the flowers they need to live long and prosper. I originally started painting one type of butterfly at a time. In the second painting, I showed you two. These butterflies all live in the same butterfly preserve,...
Floral Kendall Photography Roses, and so Much More
If I see a flower, I am compelled to photograph it. I never get tired of photographing flowers. They are ephemeral. You will never see the same flower twice. Of course, the way to tell flowers apart is to have a photographic record of all the flowers you have ever ran into. Most of my floral photography takes place in my garden. I have a couple of rose bushes and a papaya tree. I used to have more variety, but times are trying. I have been working more on my books and my art. For this reason, I have neglected...
