Opening red protea #637


Daily painting #637 6"x8" oil on primed canvas panel

The red protea was still in my studio. While it certainly hasn't wilted in the heat, it has started to open up really quickly. But I am hopeful...last night we had the first little rainfall in ages. The smell of the rain falling on the heat scorched earth was simply heavenly! It is still overcast this morning although extremely humid after the little bit of rain, and I am hoping we have not seen the last of it. While a little shower is certainly respite for our burnt dry grass and empty swimming pools, we need the rain to bucket down in our catchment areas and on the farms. So hoping for more rain....

Red protea #636


Daily painting #636 6"x8" oil on primed canvas panel

The only flower that seems to cope with the awful heat we are experiencing at the moment. Everything else seems to wilt within a day. The problem is that proteas are hard to find at the moment...but this one is a beauty!
