White flowers have a special magic. They often shine in the twilight like filled stars. White is the most perfect color. Symbolically, it stands for innocence, purity, and harmony. Watercolor painting of white flowers on a white background is considered one of the most difficult watercolor techniques. Maria-Therese Tietmeyer has succeeded in creating small works of art with the watercolors contained in this volume, whether they are orchids, camelias, dahlias, zinnias, passion flowers, or roses. The 24 pictures are accompanied by poems by Eichendorff, Rilke, Goethe, Heine, Elisabeth Langgässer, Ulla Hahn, and many others.
