Memories of a Bloom watercolor on Yupo 7x5" by Meera Rao
Three paintings so far with the theme: 'Memories of a Bloom.' I posted all three here just to see how they look as a group. It felt strange to paint #3 just as fresh spring blooms were popping up in the yard! Memories of a Bloom and Memories of a Bloom2 were painted earlier. Yupo as I have mentioned so many times before, is a great medium to play with to see how to work out compositions, color and values without much hesitation - it is so easy to wipe off part or all of the painting and start over when things don't quite work out! And as I rework my paintings I see that there is much truth in the quote from one of my favorite books - Art and Fear - Observations On the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking by David Bayles and Ted Orland : “To the critic, art is a noun. To the artist, art is a verb.”
As promised in an earlier post, it is time to tag blogs for the Liebester Award which Aparna from Warli Soul generously passed on to me. Liebster is German for dearest, beloved or favorite. This award is bestowed on blogs with less than 200 followers but deserve more attention :) Please check out these wonderful artists! :

@Thaikaden, thank you :)
Love the title of your post Meera! And the paintings are so realistic, my allergy-ridden nose is twitching involuntarily trying to stem the volley of sneezes :).
Thanks Hema:) You are very kind! BTW The title of the post is from a quote from the book "Art and Fear" - ain't that the truth for the artist ?
They have a certain antique look to them that make them stand out,a great combination put together!
Padmaja Thank you! I am glad you like this:) I saw couple of days ago that the yellows look very different on my apple --more like the painting than the yellows on a couple of PCs :( --which makes me wonder how to keep the colors correct for all the different computer screens.
Hello Meera, Thank you very much for so kindly passing on the Liebester Award. You have been generous with your praise for my paintings for a long time. Thank you :)
Lovely colour and textures in the three paintings above. And the title of the painting says it all.
Beautifull Meera! I love the look of these three together. :) They say fall to me, and it brings back good memories.
Rajeev, you are welcome! I do hope more people will discover your lovely painting! And thanks for your comments!
yes -Crystal, they are memories of a bloom -from last fall! as I said in the post it felt strange to paint the #3 as flowers were popping out in celebration of spring:) Thank you for your comments --I really appreciate them!

Thanks you again!
