Protea I

I decided to do a series on protea flowers, more like a flower portrait with a simple white background. 

Observation of form and colour, rejoicing in their harsh beauty and simply rendering them in a more botanical fashion is the goal.

The Western Cape in South Africa is the worlds smallest but richest floral kingdom with proteas and fynbos abound.

In local tradition the protea represents change and hope......

My fascination with egg shells carries on .... this time local Farmer Angus' really free range eggs, "Jumbo's" with sturdy brown shells and much thicker white skin and the cadmium yellow yolk. Yummy!

Brown eggs shells on  50/50 b/w, something which will work well in a series of 9 or more. Exploration and delight!
