sorry I have been away for quite a while in spite of the pandemic and lockdown, I don’t know where the time has gone. I was looking for some Amaryllis bulbs just after Christmas at the garden centre, I was lucky to find a few of the last they had. he said now you must get them growing asap. and I replied oh no I have to draw them first, he laughingly said so you are a botanical artist and I replied yes. I didn’t think he believed me so I sent him a photo of an Amaryllis that I had painted and he replied would I like to put some in the coffee shop for sale, to say I was shellshocked is not quite enough comment. so I have been so busy getting together and rehashing some that needs a lot of TLC, on Monday we went and hung twenty three of my botanical paintings. I must admit it gave me quite a tingle. just hope that some customers like them. well one can always live in a dream world can’t we. see you all soon with some more work. stay safe I have placed a photo I took of the hangings in the gallery
