Our tiny garden was once part of a wild wood but thankfully no one told the Bluebells there had been changes.

 

'Bluebells' - Watercolour and acrylic ink in the sketchbook.

We have English and Spanish bluebells in our garden and we look forward to seeing both each spring. They look remarkably similar.  By wishing them "Good Morning" you can differentiate between the two varieties. 'The English' look mildly embarrassed and say nothing. 'The Spanish' toss their heads and shout "Hola"!

I tried using coloured acrylic ink for the first time and enjoyed the experience. The next time I use acrylic paint on canvas, I will try using the acrylic ink with dip pens for the fine detail. The most wonderful and unexpected of all things in this world, are finding love, beauty and how things work.
