Cornflowers.
It seems I am back to the flowers again. I have used them on this blog once before. I did paint yesterday, a second attempt at producing a painting to complete my four seasons but I did not manage to produce something I feel happy with.
These blooms fit , almost , with the story of my other blog. They do not have thorns, rather they are often looked down upon as old fashioned and dated blooms. My father used to grow these, now they are hardly ever seen in gardens.
Yet they have a stunning beauty and their colour is vibrant.
This was one of my early attempts at flowers, I have never got any better at them. I see so many beautiful flowers painted by others on their blogs. I saw a drawing of a beautiful rose just last week , which would have fitted this story even better.
They were painted in acrylic and they did actually sell fairly quickly after being completed.
