Flowers in my garden

valgedge34983 Comments
We have made our back garden into a wild flower oasis. These are the first of my flowers. Drawn in coloured pencil on Bristol board
A little more added I find it very hard to make the white petals stand out on the white paper. For those interested these are grown from wild flower seeds and are wildlife friendly, we have seen lots of bees of various kinds and butterflis. We also have two hedgehogs that frequently visit.

The flowers are corn flower, Marigold and Corncockle. Brilliant names.

Going back to my roots with this piece of art. Coured pencil botanical flowers. This is a Cana lily, as you can see I still have a lot more to do.

More colour needs adding to the drawing on the left and the leaves and bracks still need to be done. Like all plants every time I go back to it the plant has not only moved but has also changed colour. The flower is definitely getting darker.
A bit more done today.
More today so glad for the photos taken as the plant has changed so much
Cana lily taking so much time as every time I work on the next flower I spot something that needs doing on the previous one.
I think it is finished 🤔
