INDIGENOUS FLOWERS OF SOUTH AFRICA



1. KAFFERBOOM TREE
2. KING PROTEUS
Both these watercolours were painted whilst I was in South Africa last Autumn. Painted on Saunders Waterford 20 x 16 inch HP paper with Sennelier watercolours. They are for sale unframed but mounted at £155 plus postage and packing.

Beautiful work. A couple of weeks ago
I saw an Art show of 1800's nature paintings. Your paintings remind me of those paintings but with more life force in your work.

Sorry Robert I didnt respond to your comment in my gallery - I had given up on it as no one seemed to use the link from my working blog. Much appreicate yeo ur comment.

Thanks lovely lottery girl - could not find reference to your Christian name on your blog but its so lovely to find someone who feels so comfortable being a mum and enjoying all the lovely homely things one can do. Loved the lemon and eggs photo - quite kean to paint it!!! Surprised you had snow in May. We in England (east Anglia) are having a heat wave.
