Acrylic on almost A2 canvas block. Study of a very tiny flower that is currently blooming down by the riverside here in Jimena de la Frontera. A bit like a ‘forget-me-not’ but don’t know what they are called. I wanted to try doing a huge version of something really tiny! I had to use a magnifying glass some of the time… I did an abstract background based on some seedpods that I had found before. IΒ was thinking of Georgia O’Keeffe’s wonderful, huge flower studies (however I am not in any way comparing this to her amazing work! π )

Real flower to show size
The flower is lovely and I have just noticed the rich glossiness of the leaves. x

Hi Wendy π
I have started following you again and I am glad I did keep checking your blog to see if you had published a post. And I’ve missed loads !
I love your stork pictures, especially the early morning one. I love to watch the storks nest, especially by the industrial/freight/rail station near San Roque. Lucky you. Occasionally there is a single stork here in the fields in the summer. Love this flower post. You are very good. π β€

Lovely! Despite your self-deprecating comment, Georgia O’ Keeffe came to mind as soon as I saw it.

But Georgia O’Keefe is exactly who I thought of when I saw it, it has that same luscious, spare beauty π
