Red Snapdragon
"Bright Red Snapdragon"
This Bright Red Snapdragon watercolor bursts with color and charm—roar and all! Painted with high-quality watercolor paints on premium watercolor paper (14.5 x 22”), this piece brings a playful childhood favorite to life with vibrant energy and detail.
Snappy Cherry Snapdragon
The snapdragon’s unique blooms have enchanted generations—give them a gentle squeeze, and they open like a dragon’s mouth! Once believed to protect against witchcraft and aging, snapdragons have long symbolized grace and strength. With their tall stems, clusters of blooms, and soft, sweet fragrance, it's no surprise they’re garden favorites.
Though typically grown as annuals, snapdragons are excellent self-seeders, often popping up year after year like old friends returning.
Color Symbolism:
Red – Love, passion, and positive energy
Yellow – Smiles, happiness, and good luck
White – Purity, grace, and good magic
Purple – Spirituality and mystery
Orange – Vibrance and positive energy
My Snapdragon Story:
No matter where I am—my yard, a nursery, or a botanical garden—I always stop to gently squeeze a snapdragon bloom. And yes, I add the little “Roar!” every time. It’s tradition! I’m now teaching my grandsons this delightful ritual whenever we find them.
Growing up, my parents planted snapdragons in our front garden. I remember classic colors like red, yellow, white, and orange—but today’s varieties? Wow. The vibrant mixes and modern hybrids are incredible, and I always hunt for the most striking combinations. This painting is a tribute to that joy, nostalgia, and, of course, the little dragon roar that still makes me smile.
