Gardens & Parks, Hepatica, Sirkka Jalava
A wild spring flower is hepatica, which growes in many places in my garden. I have taken photos of them and I have seen them and studied them in plain air.

Beautiful - the flowers and your painting Sirkka :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ann! I forgot to say, that the flowers have been in the area before we came, I always wanted to spare them where possible.
DeleteI love blue flowers and you did this one so well, Sirkka!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joan, that you like it. I love blue flowers too.
DeleteBeautiful painting with the limited color palette. Really shows off the beautiful blue flowers.
ReplyDeleteThank you Fran! Limited colors because of there are not yet many colors in the nature either. Mostly it is brown and grey.

ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. I love the blue flowers against that background. The detail and texture in the background is wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kim! I am glad you like the background too, there are only brown and grey colors and I tried to make it a little interesting.
