To celebrate this special anniversary year, there will also be a display of artwork from local primary schools and from learners with profound and multiple learning difficulties who attend the School for Profound Education. Another new feature will allow visitors to show their artistic flair by copying a pen drawing from a local artist square by square.
It's warm enough to work in the garden. I made a drawing from a photograph taken in January in Madeira. There were lots of these flowers growing outside and I was interested in the way the light was coming through the petals and the patterns made by the light and shade. The silk was stretched on a frame. I have drawn on the silk with a pencil and outlined the flower with gold. I used a clear resist for the leaves.
This is the finished painting having worked on it over several days last week.
