Walks in the countryside, can be an inspiration for many Artists. Our Sussex Countryside in Spring of 2017, and many visits to National Trust Gardens, particularly Kew at Wakehurst Place, Ardingly, inspired a range of close-up floral creations.
ALLIUMED
At the entrance to the walled Garden at Wakehurst, there used to be a wonderful display of Alliums.
I love the ball of tiny flowers that create the distinctive head.

BLUEBELLED
Early Bluebells in the year this was created, on a walk near where we live.
The leaves were not fully formed, revealing a still barren ground.

FLORAL BURST
A more abstract approach to combining Allium and Teasle structures, in an imaginary colour scheme.
