We went to the flower show this morning...7 am is a good time to visit, there are such few people.
Ever since I started painting, I seem to look more closely at things, consciously find shadows and lights, how colours flow and so on. Certainly the flower show was an amazing experience this morning. Such clear colours!
The orchids were is so many colours, but I thought these were perfect.


The poppies had translucent delicate leaves. I am definitely going to try and capture the colours and the pure transparency in paint!
