Fresh greenery filled our horizons. Leaves and grass fill the space very quickly. There are more and more flowers. I was running in the woods yesterday, and there were a lot of plants under my feet that I hadn't seen before. I am not a "forest" person and this is new to me. It's strange, but the more I get in touch with the plant world, the more interesting it becomes to me. A little bit of inspiration is added to the study of botanical painting.
My favorite artist, Billie Showell, started her career as an artist with a love of plants. She was very fond of her garden, and one day she came up with the idea to capture this beauty. Before, I could only partially catch her impulse. And in general, the flowers for some reason did not impress me very much. Somewhere in my teens, I collected cacti))). They are extremely easy to care for. And then, after a while, my dad started taking care of my cacti. And now there are no plants under my responsibility. I go and admire the work of other people, nature.
Just a month ago, I wanted to have large plants in my room. And I feel responsible as an animal. Plants can get sick, and I'm confused about it. He needs conditions, regular watering... I think I look like an irresponsible teenager)) I probably need to mature for such an act.
And this work is an ode to the leaders in the care of plants. Stone, oil.
