Caesalpinia pulcherrima – Mexican Bird of Paradise
Caesalpinia pulcherrima – Mexican Bird of Paradise, watercolor and gouache, 11×15″, 2019, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger It’s October in Arizona and the Mexican Bird of Paradise is in one of its full blooms. The shrub flowers several time during a single year and is always showy and dramatic with its red/orange blossoms and its complimentary blue/turquoise foliage. The frilly detail of this plant is captivating to the eye. it’s always visually in motion, compositionally dynamic… just another reason to love the American southwest.

Totally opaque, it’s quite different from the watercolor with which I’m familiar. It’s like gouache. a lot easier than watercolor, it has a very different look and feel, very graphic an illustrative, less touchy feely.

Pumpkinseed
Pumpkinseed, watercolor, 2018, 6×8″, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean KruegerThese North American natives are commonly called Pumpkinseeds because of the black flap at the edge of their gills.Lepomis gibbosus is included in the common sunfish family (Centrarchidae). They can grow quite large for a smallish fish (i.e. over 9″) but most that I’ve seen are from 4-6″. They’re the most colorful fish that is found in a warm water lake or pond. Bass and crappie are some of their fishy relatives.
