Uplift in praise their little growing hands,
O'er every hill that under heaven expands."
- Ebenezer Elliott ("The Corn Law Rhymer")
A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!
"One Spider-Daisy" - watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm - 11" x 8"- Maree©
The Gerbera Spider Daisy is from the sunflower family (Asteraceae). It has a delicate, spiky appearance and is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds, and deer resistant! (No idea why, Wiki doesn't say!)
It has approximately 30 species in the wild, extending to South America, Africa and tropical Asia and is a tender annual flower.
I just love sketching these daisies - each one has a different personality and seems to fairly beg you to look at them and take notice!
Ooh, more Daisies! I love them!I thought you had chopped them all back! I'm glad to see some more!
