Botanical

I knew my new job as an art teacher would take up an awful lot of time and prevent me from producing my own work for a while, and it does, but I am loving it so much and the research is one of the best parts. I'm learning all sorts of things and discovering some wonderful artists. I have been doing some still life classes based on plants with the students and this led me to search Etsy for 'Botanical' under the art section. I found some lovelies. The gorgeous dark print above is by ashleyg. 

 These 'Magic Mushrooms' are by Illumino. I love the colours and shapes.

'Succulent' is an original by Leelaford. This shop is bursting with beautiful colourful pictures of plants and flowers.

LeiLiLaLoo is a favourite shop of mine and there is a sale going on at the mo. The pictures are so bright and cheery, such fun titles too, this one is 'Alice is Looking for her Dottie Dress'. Lovely!
