Snow drops in an Old Jug - 2026
This small acrylic painting captures the quiet, hopeful beauty of early spring through a simple arrangement of Snowdrops in a white jug. Known as the first flowers to break through the winter frosts, snowdrops represent resilience, renewal, and new beginnings.

This small gouache painting explores the resilient beauty of wildflowers set against a deep black background. By painting on dark paper , I wanted to create a dramatic contrast that makes the rich , opaque colours of the petals stand out.
