Painting Flowers For Spring
Here is my new work for 'My Magic Brush' series.
I'm painting Chionodoxa, one of the finest of the early flowering plants, prized for its adorable star-shaped flowers. The name Chionodoxa derives from the Greek words ‘chion’ (‘snow’) and ‘doxa’ (‘glory’ or ‘repute’), that’s why this plant commonly known as Glory-of-the-Snow. I actually depicted this flower in paper, designing its origami version you among other flowers, but for a change I decided to paint it with my magic brush too :-)
Happy Spring!
Coltsfoot is real spring flower for Scandinavia!
Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) is truly a sign of spring in Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. They're one of the first wild flowers to bloom when the snow has melted. Dandelions are for the summer. The Greek physicians used to recommended to smoke dried Coltsfoot for the relief of coughs and asthma. Coltsfoot is a perennial herbaceous and wild plant.
