U is for Undergrowth Flowers by

The letter “U” proved to be the most difficult of all to find flowers for because we could find none, in spite of all the research done. Then Ted came up with the brainwave of painting the little flowers which can be found under bushes and shrubs and “Undergrowth Flowers” was born. Amazingly enough I even found a meaning for them, they symbolise “Delight”.

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.

About Constance Widen

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” .
