Inspired to paint

I visited the Society of Botanical Artists exhibition last Wednesday and it made me want to paint! So that's what I did. My efforts compared to theirs are a bit pitiful but it was good to put paint to paper again. I did some quick studies of a tulip from my garden that had been snapped off (I think the cat may have something to do with that).


At the time I didn't like the results and threw the piece to oneside annoyed with myself for rushing it, but there is nothing like a little distance from something to look at it more objectively.

The exhibition is over now, but you can see some of the amazing work at their website (click on the link below:)
