New Zealand Tree Ferns

Today, Ash wednesday, I have been painting my first attempt at tree ferns, this little painting is finished and rather unexpectedly really! I wanted to show the delicate filigree of the fronds against the light...it became an exercise in types of green and things that help to make green. I hope to delve deeper into this country of green. Here it is, propped up in the kitchen. Oh and today I have started drinking green tea!
