I'm finding that the commitment I've made to post my artwork on this blog is really a great incentive to keep working. I can feel myself loosening up with each piece of work; not necessarily in my painting style, but in my attitude to making art. It's true what they say, that the way to shift a creative block is to just create something, anything, regularly, preferably every day.
My latest is another plant study: for May Day in France it's traditional to give lily-of-the-valley ('muguet' in French) for good luck. A friend brought us a beautiful specimen in a slim terracotta pot. What prompted me to draw it was the curving forms of the leaves. The final result is basically a watercolour with some pencil drawing on top to emphasise the plant's graceful lines.
beautiful! J'adore le muguet!!! J'en veux dans mon jardin!!!

What a lovely custom. Lily-of-the-valley is a delightful plant (I also have some in my garden). You have captured the delicate flower bells and elegant leaves. The yellow with red check base seems to add balance.
