Lots of Freesia - SOLD

The freesia are lasting well, and today it was seeing them massed together from above that inspired me. A bit of the vase crept in on the left, but that just helps to link this painting to the first one.

More Freesia - SOLD

Some more snatched time, some more freesia. (Well, actually, it's the same bunch of flowers, albeit a different stalk, a different angle, and a different background). I do love the shapes you get from freesia - all those delicate, trumpet-like flowers standing to attention in a row on each and every stalk, with the buds tapering off the end. And in the morning - another flower has bloomed!

And they smell lovely, too.

Freesia in a Purple Vase - SOLD

A good friend gave me flowers (to congratulate me on the imminent start of a full time job*). Flowers are for painting, right? I just cannot let cut flowers exist in the house without itching to portray them... in the past, I've done watercolours on cards for friends' weddings. But watercolour isn't really my métier, and, besides, none of my friends are getting married. So out with the acrylics and the tiny canvas it was.
