It is an plant found at the Korea Forest Botanical Garden. Korea has four seasons. Every season is a plant that changes and size. Like a femme fatale. I became interested in this part. It is a plant with a hard stem and strong leaf color. Especially, the darkness of purple is the most attractive.

A lovely herbaceous perennial - quite hard to grow where I live. Also, anything with green "flowers" has my vote. I love that the petals are reduced to yellow filaments and the bracts take centre stage in framing the reproductive parts. Always a joy, surprise and relief when the Paris shows itself after a long winter. I hoped to capture the sun bouncing off the leaves and play on light that resulted on all the contours while still being botanically accurate. Loved painting this plant and I hope my joy shines through.

I bought this orchid for my Mum many years ago for Mother’s Day, since when it has flourished and been divided many times.
I drew it in her conservatory when the light provided a stunning tonal contrast and it was this wonderful chiaroscuro that I was keen to capture. My mum was able to watch me drawing and see the image not many years before she passed on, and I know sure would have been very proud when it was shown in the Society of Botanical Artists exhibition this year at the Mall.
This drawing was also exhibited at the Society of Graphic Fine Art in 2021.

Helleborus spec., Ranunculacea

I appreciate and love the plant family of Ranunculace very much. It is considered as a very original plant family. When this Helleborus hybrid caught my eye, I was immediately fascinated by the rich petal colour and the contrast of its nectar leaves and stamens. Especially, I love and care for plants in my garden, that provide for insects. This Hellebore flowers very early in spring and feeds early insects. I enjoyed the lovely balanced colour contrast of this beautiful flower while painting this traditional inspired portrait.

Needing a circuit breaker from a challenging piece, I thought a little study of this lingering veg box onion would provide a reset. I became obsessed and couldn't stop. Papery skin, melting layers, interesting sprouts.

The peony flower is large and colorful, but it has a noble beauty.
The peonies I drew are bright and elegant in color.
It is light pink. Not dark but never light
There is no beauty. I love the elegance of this flower
I tried to express myself well. of two
The harmony of the colors of flowers and leaves was also eager to be expressed.

This is the first work of a series on garden plants and weeds that function as hostplants to butterflies. Starting point is what I see in my own garden and surrounding area. The purpose of this series is to entice people to let weeds have their place in the garden as well. Weeds can grow perfectly in harmony with the regular garden plants. I believe that both are valuable to the biodiversity and if more garden owners would do this, then all the gardens combined would become one big nature reserve.
