I’ve enjoyed painting this absurd combo of flowers. Listened to about 50 hours of Sherlock and Poirot while I was at it.
‘Fortuna’ - after a house of the same name that I made merry in years ago. 100 x 120cm Acrylic on canvas.

Took this 1m x 1m acrylic #wip out to look at today, it helps to put them away for a while sometimes. This one will be all native Australian florals. Ground is mostly done & a few flowers under painted. Can’t recall why I quit on it now.
