I went out with the Roaming Artists to paint at a nearby Master’s Garden. For any who don’t know what that is, it is a community garden that is run by the Master Gardeners of the area. So, it is a treat to spend time in one of their gardens as it is full of interesting plants, flowers, herbs, trees.
I did a painting while I was there, but I wasn’t too happy with it. I also took a lot of pictures. There was one plant in particular that caught my eye because of the stunning streams of intense red flowers. The plant is called crocosmia and the variety that has the red flowers is called Lucifer. And since there were tons of hummingbirds roaming around the garden and this flowering plant, I thought one deserved to be included even though I couldn’t catch one with my camera.
So, what other name could possibly fit this painting?
