A few watercolours to share

A couple of weeks ago we went to the beautiful Narooma and like always, a few of the bits of native flora 'found their way into my pocket' as we walked around the beach and countryside.

The coastal banksias are always pretty magnificient and I had a great time drinking wine and painting a few of the native coastal banksias....


Here is the early wattle and a unusual seed cluster I have never seen before......


Aren't grevillias sensational. A little night snatch found this gorgeous specimen, the colours are honestly true to life, and I couldn't resist it. Phil tends to drink his beer while I go and pick a sample (or 6) after dark.... the joys and dangers of needing to paint from real life! I tell him it is all in the name of science - Phil smiles but I don't think I fool him! He is very patient with me!!

Thanks for looking...... I will be popping in soon with a step by step as the first one was so popular...... thanks for your support, it means so much!

Love
Carol

PS
For those I send Christmas cards to I have painted the flower for the front which I will get printed soon..... I cannot believe that these wonderful flowers grow in outside gardens - unreal!!!!! They certainly don't in cold Canberra!!
