Feeling inspired by the approaching festive season and with the thought of snow falling in some parts of the world, I realised that most flowers will be in hibernation. Many gardens will be bare so with this in mind frosty flowers were ‘sown’ with my paintbrush in flowing purples and blues.
Frosty Flowers
The first snow falls upon the ground,
floating, softly, gently down.
A bird soars onwards to warmer skies,
above frosty flowers it swoops and glides.
Flowers sparkle against the white of snow,
All through winter they bloom and grow.

I paint many subjects in a range of mediums and styles from my home studio in the Blue Mountains. Especially drawn to brilliant watercolours and inks, my work has been described as ‘ethereal, spiritual and totally in tune with nature’. I am delighted to have sold many works, won awards and been published in numerous magazines. Facebook Page LindArt

Hi Lynda! nice to see you…and thank you so much for your lovely comment…took quite a few photos of this one as the original shows more purple hidden amongst the blues…..but this is the closest I could get! …so glad you like it :)
