Description
A favorite subject for my watercolor portraits of this magnificent flower. I never used a photo for producing my paintings, always preferring the real flower as a model.

The aroma is so strong. The magnolia trees are all in bloom now in St. Louis and I've enjoyed several "visits" to the trees.

Thanks so much, Christiane. I painted magnolia watercolors for years, it seems. Always from life, not from photographs. But I did try to capture them with a camera too. The sunlight tells the story.
