Foxglove painting

That’s beautiful, Purplepixie.

wow Purplepixie, that's lovely. What is the medium?

Lovely, Purplepixie. We’ve had a brilliant display of foxgloves in the garden this year (we’ve not had them before). I was surprised when a friend said that they’re toxic- I can remember putting my fingers in the flowers when I was little, pretending they were my gloves.

Thank you. It's painted using watercolours.

Purple that is beautiful. You are so talented. X

I would give anything to be able to paint it must be so rewarding. The closest I ever got to something like your beautiful painting was an embroidery which was not in the same league as your painting. Do you have any other flower paintings?

That's beautiful. We have some in the garden and the bees don't seem to know they are toxic! It's very noisy when the bee gets right inside a flower.

Beautiful. what a brilliant talent to have .It must bring you pleasure and peace in these difficult times.

Purplepixie I hope it's going to take pride of place on your wall.

I love the painting. It would look wonderful on fabric, I’m thinking cushion covers.

Maggiemaybe, they are indeed toxic if eaten but apparently they taste horrible so that rarely happens. It is best to wear gloves when dealing with them as the poison can enter through an open wound. The cardiac glycosides produced are used in heart medicine. As the leaves are sometimes mistaken for comfrey it is usually people attempting “alternative medicine” who suffer.

How beautiful. I love paintings and so love the foxglove too such a beautiful flower. Well done. Frame it , behind glass and hang it and enjoy it too.

That is just beautiful Purplepixie; you're a very talented artist. I'd be delighted to have that displayed in my home.

Thank you so much for the lovely words. Yes, I have done some other flowers in the past.

That is just lovely. Well done

How lovely.
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for the information, Esspee, that’s very interesting.

Lovely.

Thank you

Lovely painting, Purplepixie! Not an easy medium, watercolour.

Lovely and delicate Purplepixie

Did you 'drop in' the colours?

I dropped some of the colours in as well as using salt on the back ground.

Oh, I'd forgotten that! It's quite a while since I did any painting, in fact I was just looking at my books and wondering whether to give them away or try again.

Beautiful.

I also use cling film for the background at times, but this is rock salt.
