If you are wondering what to paint, look down!

If you ever struggle with 'what shall I paint next?' then there is no better recommendation than to look around you. If you love painting flowers, look down!
Even the humble weeds can be inspiration for a painting.

Here is my version of a common weed in the UK,

The Happy Dandelion


Painted on Saunders Waterford, 140lb Rough paper, using W&N Artist Quality paint. 

8" x 11"
