Variety of Approaches 2 : Hellebores


As promised, the second of my gallery of flower paintings. These flowers never cease to amaze me as they withstand the winter weather and the paintings are so popular at the exhibitions. I am afraid I cannot label the varieties as I simply do not have the labels any more fore those that are in the garden, and I am not sure where I sourced the images for those that I do not grow! What is interesting is that they are all pink, although Hellebores come in other interesting colours.
