My daughter Anna and I went to the cutest floral shop in our town Cottage Floral and she bought a stem of Grevillea. I had never seen this plant before, and when we came home I placed it on a white canvas and decided it would make an interesting botanical painting.
Are you familiar with this plant? I had never seen one before. Searching on the internet I found that Grevilleas are native to Australia and there are about 360 species of the plant. The flowers come in different colors and are described as toothbrush-like because of their clusters. If you are interested in knowing more here is the website that I used to find the information I shared… Gardenia
12″ x 24″ oil on canvas
The plant was the same size as what I painted, so about 23 inches tall. Now it has dried and it has joined some other dried flowers that I have been saving in a large vase in my living room. 🙂
