S ... L ... O ... W ...


I can hardly see ant difference, but I have been putting some shading on the leaf tips in purple. I suppose it is hard to see, when I've been using a brush the size of 5 eyelashes!!!



When I'd reached my limit with the above painting, I moved to the hibiscus, and worked on the leaves.

As always, please feel free to leave comments or questions.
I am off to Vancouver this evening. My handsome, brilliant, wonderful [do I sound biased?] nephew, Julian, is turning 18 today.

    Both paintings are progressing well xx

  3. They are coming along beautifully. It reminds me so much of when I was doing botanical painting, so slow...but very rewarding in the end. Have a nice trip Kathryn and congratulations to Julian!

  8. i absolutely love the way you work! you are patient and let the work have it's time and life. so looking forward to seeing these completed! it's frustrating when one spends hours on a section and himself comes home and says.."oh, you didn't work today!" grrr! slow and easy is the ticket though.
