A little out of season, but here are my Christmas cards from last year. I opted for simple botanical paintings, which I hadn’t done for a couple of years, and they went a LOT better than I expected! Tumblr only allows 10 pictures at once, so the other 6 are in another post.
The other 6 Christmas cards from last year (first 10 are here). I think the Hellebore and Lords-and-Ladies in the middle are my absolute favourites. I was so proud of how they came out! I’d like to do some more of these for some less seasonal flowers. Fun fact: the dogwood at the top was the only one in the whole set I had to scrap and re-paint. Coincidentally, it was also the only one where I didn’t bother to find reference the first time. Use reference kids.
Recently I've been doing some limited palette paintings using a box of spare watercolour half pans. I jumble them all up, pick two with my eyes closed, then try to paint something with them. This is cadmium red and viridian which is a pretty... festive combination. I was slightly horrified when I first pulled them out, but I'm quite pleased with the result.
Sorry for long time not post in here... 😝 Forest (?) and plant from hot spring I visited last week
Pic reference from tumblr too

Yesterday's mushroom for mayshroom
✨🍄✨
I'm going to try and do a different mushroom each day, probably all in the same medium because at the end of May I want to put them all together on one page 😁 today's mayshroom is morchella ✨
Mayshroom day 20!! I've seen some varieties of this where the inside and outside is all white or the outside is brown, but I only saw one where the inside was a dark greyish colour so I decided on that one :) say hello to the earth star fungus!
