Finding flowers that started with an “F” was really easy, it was hard in fact to choose which one to paint!

I have used Black Ink and Derwent and Faber Castell Watercolour pencils on 8” x 10”, 125 lbs Hahnemuhle Bamboo mixed media, acid-free paper.

I paint because I cannot do otherwise. I paint because if I don’t I become unhappy and sad. Most of all, I paint best the things that filled and fill me with joy and excitement, like the ocean and waves which I no longer can see nor hear now. During the long winter months I paint butterflies, they are symbols of what it felt like to fly away to freedom. And all the while, I continue trying to achieve what Matisse wrote, “I continue painting until the hand sings” .

    Fuchsias are my most favourite flower – and you have drawn them so delicately and beautifully!

  • I love them too Marion, I’m still undecided as to whether they are fairy or butterfly like? They are also very complicated flowers to draw! Thank you for your wonderful comment :-)
