Spring Flora - Josh Lewis

Created by Josh Lewis | Watercolor on Paper | 5.5" x 3"

This 5.5"x3" watercolor painting, completed in March 2025 by Josh Lewis, captures the vibrant energy of a meadow in full bloom. Delicate pink and blue wildflowers dance across the composition, their petite forms rendered with quick, confident brushstrokes against a backdrop of verdant grass. Lewis demonstrates masterful restraint, allowing the pigment to bloom naturally in certain areas while defining select flowers with more precise detail. Above, a blue sky dotted with gossamer clouds creates a perfect counterbalance, with washes of cerulean that subtly blend into white. The overall effect is one of spontaneous joy—a fleeting moment of natural beauty preserved through Lewis's characteristic light touch and intuitive understanding of watercolor's fluid properties.
