Ordinary Becomes Extraordinary

My daughter says that I paint with such detail that 'ordinary becomes extraordinary.'  Florence Delaney

Over time, Florence gained enough skill to teach a beginner watercolor course. The majority of her painting skill developed with a lot of time and hard work but she is the first to acknowledge that her talent is on loan from God. Sometimes, she paints strictly from memory but, more often than not, she uses photographs she's taken as a reference, combining several aspects from many photos. She uses color to adjust the light, create tones, and add shadows. That’s where the creative artistry comes in, that compilation of elements rendering a unique piece of art.
