April Showers Red Umbrella Watercolor 11×14
April Showers.
We are expecting April showers today.
That’s okay, because they will be bringing May flowers.
The daffodils and hyacinths and forsythia are already painting a bright and beautiful Spring.
I woke up early yesterday and felt like painting, but didn’t know what to paint. Scrolling through Pinterest, I found some lovely art done by Antigoni Tziora of Greece. This artist uses oil, acrylic, and watercolor mediums to create romantic figurative work. I tried recreating one in just watercolor, and this is what resulted. I’d like to try more experimenting with this. It was a fun practice to do.
Wishing you showers of joy, love, peace, and happiness!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
I love the spring rain and love your happy painting

I don’t seem to remember having April Showers up until now, Jodi. We must have had some but none that stand out to me… I’ll take your cheerful painting as a replacement, however!

I must give credit to the original artist whose work I used as an example. Not sure I used same colors, but was so inspired by her painting. 🙂

You did a great job with this painting, Jodi! It is so cheerful! And personally, I have another reason for enjoying April showers: they wash away the tree pollen I’m allergic to.
