More Wild Flowers from New Zealand

 

Eglantine

Here is another painting made from a collection of wild flowers which I gathered on a
recent walk along the Wharemauku stream, I have called it Eglantine after the
wild rose which grows in the hedge behind our local airport.  I have also been surprised
at the number of weevils which seem to living on the spinach in our vegetable patch,
they are remarkable little creatures, so I have put some of those in as well.
 
 
 
The Guinea Fowl feather comes from Staglands a wildlife reserve which we visited
for our youngest Granddaughter's first birthday.  It was a real treat and the
girls just loved the animals, my favourites were the little brown pigs which
followed us around.
 
 
Here they are!
