Artist's Description

About Lil Taylor
***** As a watercolorist, I take my inspiration from the places I've lived and visited. Many of my paintings were done while living in Florida. Now that I'm living in North Carolina, I can hopefully expand my base to more of the native species of flowers and animals here. Ever since I was a small girl, I have always loved, nature - felt a part of the beauty and order which surrounds us everyday. The intricacies of colors in nature astounded me.

And thank you, Farah. I wanted it to appear natural and not worked over too much because I felt it would take away from the simplicity. Thanks very much!
Lil Taylor
Thank you, VIvian. This one pretty much killed me trying to figure out how to do it and I went through 3 before this one came alive. The others were tossed in frustration but that's how we learn, isn't it? Thanks so much!!

Beautiful color and flow, Lil. I imagine this was pretty difficult with watercolor.
Lil Taylor replied:
Thank you, Kristin. It took lots of masking and even just deciding the exact background color drove me crazy!! haha Thanks so much!!
Lil Taylor
Thank you all. This was one of those pieces that I had to try it 5 different times until I figured out what worked and didn't. I even wish I had kept the original! ha! That'll teach me. Thank you all so much!
