Hellebores

These hellebores are the only flowers out in my garden, though the daffodils are showing promise!  I learnt something about hellebores as flowers, having picked them the day before I intended painting them..   When I came to paint them they had all turned their heads down, so I had to gather a few more.  I guess they are shy flowers!

I am off on a mixed media art course for a few days at the lovely Dedham Hall, so I will not be able to blog.  I will hopefully be able to show you what I accomplish.
