Award winning artwork : Best Flora - Ringwood Art Society Members Showcase.

I am a plant obsessed arty lady. While I had to put a pause on my collection due to lack of space, my hands got an itch to paint and draw them.When I saw this gorgeous tricolour Tadescantia “Wandering Jew” in a wicker basket, I could not resist.
 
Sketched out in pen first, then layers of acrylic wash applied. You can see from the drips of wash just how watered down it is. Once dry, I use a semi continuous line (aka I scribble) in the detail until the plant comes to life.I use a lot of continued line work to create a sense of movement and energy from the plant.
 
This piece is an original work on stonehenge paper.
Framed in a raw oak frame, floating on top of white backing board. With glass protecting the work from the elements. Ready to hang with coated wire and d-rings.
