First I painted these crocuses which were a joyful sight earlier this year, after a very hard winter.

Then I was inspired to return to macro florals after visiting the studio of Peter Horrocks in Kington, Herefordshire. His work is fascinating, abstracts "painted" with pure earth pigments rubbed onto the support in layers.
I chose a single gladiolus flower which had wonderful lighting, great to paint in this exciting medium!

I think I'll continue to explore macros for a while, they present some interesting challenges.
