I really like your Lupin Diana, the petals look so compact and realistic, we use to pick them as children and made bunny faces! A lovely painting indeed!

What a beauty and congrats on your first lupin!

Very good sketch Diana. My Wife and I both love Lupins. We have quite a few different cultivars some of which we bred from cross polinated seed we selected ourselves, which is all nothing to do with painting is it. I love this sketch!!

That’s good to hear Marjorie. Mine were getting eaten by slugs. Alls well since putting wool pellets round the stem bases. Thanks Valerie. They are such majestic flowers. Thank you Cecilia. They are beautiful. Stunning in large quantities but I really appreciate my modest collection. Thank you Anne. I love pen drawing. It seems so free Thank you Lynda. I appreciate your interest
