Autumn Glow
Original Watercolor & Ink ACEO
by Dr. Joyce Still, Bee Still Art Studio
Autumn Glow captures the warm colors of a Helenium flower in shades of glowing orange, rust, yellow and gold. Its dark textured center is surrounded by loose, imperfect petals against a soft green watercolor background.
I was drawn to Helenium because of its wonderful autumn colors and unusual raised center. Before beginning a larger painting of these flowers, I painted this small piece as a study. What began as practice became a little painting of its own.
Painted in my loose watercolor-and-ink style, I allowed some of the watercolor to wander beyond the lines and left touches of the paper showing rather than making every edge perfect. Those small imperfections are part of the character of the original.

Because this is an original handmade watercolor, you may see variations in the paint, paper texture and ink marks. These are part of the artwork and make this little painting one of a kind.
