There’s something about it I quite like, I hope you do too 🙂

After struggling with trying to capture a landscape earlier in the day, I spotted a tiny clover flower on the way back from the pub in Braunton. In a case of one extreme to another I had a go at painting the flower when we got back to camp. It was raining when I painted this so I had to get a shift on, I think this attempt took me about two minutes start to finish.
