Plum Blossom is a 1950 watercolor by Katharine Cameron, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a branch heavy with white flowers. The petals are soft and slightly fuzzy. A bee hovers near the top. The background is a pale blue-gray, like misty water. The artist focused on the flowers’ details—how light hits each petal. The brushstrokes are loose but careful, making the blossoms look real. Look up Katharine Cameron next—she painted many flowers like this.
