The Hellebores in the garden have been looking fresh and fine. I've been trying to use them in a composition but it just didn't seem to be working out. When the weather was poor I put some in a vase to bring in and one thing led to another..... I have actually painted some (pinkish) flowers in a vase!

Keeping the Easter theme going (Lentern Roses) I painted a duck egg and put everything on some light blue cloth. Finally a few of the heads of Ivy berries from the hedgerow opposite were added.

If I get time it would be nice to try some simple, more botanical, watercolours of the Hellebores.
