About Me

As an artist, I strive to capture the unique curves of each petal as I paint. By carefully controlling the flow of water on the brush, I skillfully craft each petal and leaf. I add fine detailing in my attempt to capture nature's perfection. I believe negative space is carefully designed so that every shape contributes to the energy of the composition. In my floral closeups, I want the viewer to appreciate the beauty of nature while recognizing the subject. Ultimately, I hope for the viewer's awareness of the subtleties and nuances of all flowers. I also hope to resonate vitality to the painting to touch the viewer.

I've Been Busy with Brushes

It's been a little while since my last post, so I am excited to share some of my newest work with you. I encourage you to take a visual walk through the seasons with each grouping of new pieces. Painting is my passion. I prefer pieces that remind me to have joy in the small things. . .fleeting moments that are often taken for granted. Thirty years experience as an artist has enabled me to hone my skills to depict fine detail with intricacy of color. I enjoy doing commissioned work and teaching painting to people of all ages. 

Works noted as original are professionally framed, while prints come with an option for framed or unframed. If you have observations or inquiries, I'd love to hear from you at ldarrow1@verizon.net.

Welcome to Lisa Darrow Watercolors

I paint flowers from a bee's-eye view. I think flowers are the prima ballerinas of plants. Their breathtaking grace and beauty captivate me. The paintings that I create are the types that I would buy and live with--something that would have a positive presence in my life. I like paintings that remind me to take joy in the small things; fleeting moments that are often taken for granted. I hope you enjoy the sampling of my most recent watercolor paintings. If you would like additional information about a piece, you can contact me at ldarrow1@verizon.net.
