Bindweed





Started on this painting about a week ago, and I must say it is a bit of a challenge but starting to take shape now. 
It took me almost a whole day just plotting out roughly where I wanted everything, and I still keep rubbing bits out and changing them!  
It measures a metre square so I am aiming at making it a statement piece. 

I popped out in the garden earlier for some reference material as these trumpet shaped flowers are very difficult to get right. It does help to scrutinize them up close but I don't think I will be touching the stinging nettles at all! 

Watch out for the finished work.
