From my Children


My children sent me this bouquet, for my birthday, the day my youngest flew to Australia. I wanted to savour it longer, so decided to paint it - life size. The one gerber daisy to the right could have been placed a bit higher to balance the three out, but otherwise I am happy with it. The process was very satisfying. And so this is how I start the new year with painting!

Lovely, I will remember to do this myself next time I get some flowers. The idea of doing it life size is terrific.
