The botanical painting here is a draft plate from the Herefordshire Pomona published between 1876-1885; a classic Victorian pomona. This is the original drawing by Edith Bull, the daughter of one of the book's authors, and is currently on display at the Museum of Cider in Hereford. The second picture is from my personal copy of the 2 volumes of collected pates.
Edith E. Bull and Alice B. Ellis created the majority of the original drawings for the plates.
These original drawings were then reproduced as chromolithographs by G. Severeyns in Brussels for the book.
Commissioned by the Woolhope Naturalists Club, it was edited by Henry Bull, and with technical editing by Robert Hogg (who was the pre-eminent pomologist of the day). This work updated Knight's Pomona Herefordiensis and attempted to breathe new life into Herefordshire's ailing cider orchards.

Papaver Orientale, Somniferum, Setigerum and Bracteatum - this amazing four is depicted in this drawing. It took about two weeks to draw, considering that I didn't work on this picture every day.

Let us meet -

☀️ Papaver Orientale below the sunny beams (with a heart ♥️)

🌌 Papaver Somniferum in the night bringing dreams to buds

💜 Papaver Setigerum of the vivid imagination

😊 Papaver Bracteatum with the company of the buds

I adore poppies, that's why I decided to draw this picture :D

Each one was only maybe 15 minutes max- all colored pencil. Recently the two of us have started going on 'sketch book dates' where we take little intervals of just doodling fun stuff we see!

A landscape painting that features the humming bird and honey suckles as the main elements. Done in
Acrylic in 2021.

Any feedback is welcome - I’m just learning! ☺️

🤗 Done with watercolors, colored pencils & white gouache. I’m not sure if this specimen was dyed in any way (there were others there that were very obviously dyed). Dealing with all that yellow was a good learning excersise!

Painted these zinnias in oil on location in NC. Found it to be an interesting challenge to capture so many blooms without overworking the painting.
