My fascination with painting flowers still lives on .......
In the spirit of spring, I would like to share some of the floral paintings I have done many years ago and more recently.
Fire Lily was done last year and inspired by the varieties of lilies that my Mother used to bring home to decorate the house with. She still brings flowers home and by painting the fire lily I feel I recorded a piece of that time that can live for a lifetime.

My fond memory of our first rose garden still comes to mind. Roses in summer was inspired by that time and seeing four roses growing together so perfectly.

I have always been fascinated by the Lily - its multitude of colours, variations and forms.
Anthuriums have also been one of my favourite. I always liked the elegant shaped petals and leaves. I found this anthurium flower arrangement sitting in my living room one day (ofcourse arranged beautifully by my Mother). I was 13 years old and in awe of the arrangement. In those days, whatever caught my mind's eye and I could not record on camera (as I did not have a camera at that time) I would sketch or draw.
