About this artwork

An original watercolour painting of native English bluebells done against a white background in a traditional botanical style. I found a small clump of these growing on the steep and somewhat overgrown part of my garden. Luckily they are the true wildflower variety and not their more thuggish cousin, the Spanish garden flower, that threatens to hybridize and wipe out the native ones. This native variety holds its blooms on one side of a gracefully arching stem. The fragrance is much stronger and the blue far deeper making it a more attractive plant. Though they appear so fleetingly, they are synonymous with British deciduous woodlands in the springtime where they carpet the ground in iridescent blue. This painting is unframed but will arrive in a professionally cut acid free double mount in a neutral pale cream / ivory colour to suit most home decor. The mount has been cut to fit an A4 (21 x 29.7cm) frame. It will come with a signed certificate of authenticity.
