Snowdrops and Hellebores


I'm enjoying painting snowdrops and hellebores at the moment. There is something magical about seeing these wonderful flowers, they are both so delicate - strange to think they appear at such a harsh time of year.

The sun was shining on Saturday morning and the flowers at East Lambrook Manor Gardens looked fabulous, I have so much material to carry on painting tomorrow and I can't wait!

  6. Wow, thank you everyone, I really appreciate your comments. I have taken to painting Hellebores, they're such a pretty flower, but hard to see them with their heads bent over!
