We will explore the genesis of the Flower – from birth to fading glory! The celebration of the flowers as they transit from the greens of the bud – to the soft colours of a full blown flower and the gentle browns and shapes which result as the plant fades! These stages all have their unique beauty – you can choose to paint a representational Work – or a more abstracted adaptation of the process! 10am to 2.30pm @ Eckersley’s Gold Coast – Labrador Wednesday 10th November 2021.
