Day 18 - Scholtzia

 
Acrylic on board - palette knife and brush 16cm x 16cm
 
 
I bought this gorgeous little Scholtzia last year when I was helping out at the wildflower nursery.  It is a native to Western Australia. Unfortunately, it has since gone on to meet its maker, so I have painted it as recompense for its early demise.

  5. You are more than half way through the challenge! You are picking up on the palette knife quick Wendy. You have imparted an elegance to the subject but still retained the broad sense of the tool. Nice one!
    Keep painting...

  7. I admire those with the skill to paint. Love the way you've immortalised the flower; 'so long lives this and this gives life to thee'!
