These are early February branch flowers. They are the first to bloom in Madrid after our cold winter. Shortly after painting this small painting, we were all confined to our homes during the entire spring.

This is a small oil painting of blue bottles with a red bottle and spring flowers. — Blue Bottles with a Red Bottle 2020 Resin-Oil on Canvas

Vintage Gooseneck Coffee Pot with Branch Blossoms

Posted on July 31, 2021 by victoria A. Olson

I picked up this gooseneck coffee pot at a design fair here in Madrid and this is the first time it appears in one of my paintings.

Here is a picture of the watercolor when I finished. I like to take a picture of it outdoors to see the colors in the light. I always put my hand in the picture as a size reference.

Now my friend has it hanging on her wall. She sent this picture to me. It looks great in that white frame. This is the perfect comfy corner.

Colorful Branch Flowers in Pickle Jar Watercolor

Watercolor of pink and yellow flowers in a picklejar on a white tablecloth — Pink and Yellow Flowers on White Tablecloth 2021

These branch flowers came and went so quickly as they usually do. I try not to miss the occasion of painting these flowers because they are very lively and fun to paint.

This frame works very well with the watercolor. It is simple and elegant at the same time.

Early Branch Blossoms Watercolor Painting

Posted on April 29, 2021 by victoria A. Olson

I like painting flowering branches in watercolor because watercolor is a medium that allows me to paint quickly enough to try to capture the feeling.

Almond Blossoms, Japaneses Scarlet Quince and Yellow Retama

These are the branch blossoms that bloom in February here in Madrid. The first three flowers I see after the cold winter are almond blossoms, Japanese quince and yellow retama.

Here is a closer view of the Japanese quince and yellow retama in pickle jar half filled with water.

These three early bloomers grow on twisting branches reaching out in every direction, so that’s why I like to put them in a pickle jar. I want to be able to paint the submerged flowers on the branches.

The blue curtains are in the background. I opened them up and the light came in illuminating the yellow retama.

Here is a picture of the watercolor in full shade. My hands serve as a size reference. Thank you for reading my little watercolor adventure report. Victoria
