I'm not really sure what this plant is named but I do know that it is a succulent. : ) In my succulents book, the graptoveria looked similar to this and was described as having the variety of colors in one plant that this one does. That's what drew me to it. The combination of colors almost make it look iridescent.
This is a large painting and I think I will enter it in the Watercolor West competition coming up.
Speaking of competitions, today I got the news that my painting Fish and Flotsam has been accepted into the San Diego Watercolor Society's International Exhibit. I am so thrilled! This is a prestigious exhibit and I feel honored to have one of my paintings included. This is the time of year that many of the big shows deadlines come around. There are two other international watercolor shows (Watercolor West and National Watercolor Society) and a couple of local shows, all with deadlines within the next month. Now I'm wishing I had worked more in watercolor the past few months. Since my paintings have been all over the place (every medium imaginable), now I'm feeling the crunch. Sometimes I am more focused when my time is limited so we'll see what happens.
