Purple Ragwort (Senecio arenarius)








I am painting the last of the purple ragwort flowers of the season! Because I water my garden twice a week some of them survived a bit longer.

Ragwort make a wonderful display in springtime, colouring the fields around us to a purple landscape. The flowers are pretty but poisonous to humans and livestock as it is said to affect the liver. Yet my beloved voles, which I painted a few months ago, are vegetarians and find ragwort such a treat. It is just too cute to see the flowers in those little hand-like paws! I have found that if you move past a window or stir a curtain the voles are gone! They are extremely sensitive. Maybe the early morning sun blinded them a little this morning, so I stood behind the glass and got the photos I have been yearning for. I hope to invest in a telephoto lens for my camera, to catch some better shots in future. In the meantime I present Mr and Mrs Vole eating their purple ragwort breakfast.

I also paint these purple flowers to celebrate my brand-new purple blogspot : French Belles by Marie Theron.

Solo show featuring the work of Peter Santi who is fast gaining major recognition on both sides of the Atlantic. The work, described as "Nourished on wistful humor and piercing intelligence" by the arts editor of the Los Angeles Huffington Post. This is an exhibition packed with some wonderfully skilled and challenging works that makes for an extremely thought provoking and entertaining show. A rare opportunity to see these original works here in London and a show definitely not to be missed.

Fall in Colorado by Mari

I just found some amazing pictures Mari at 365 Days is taking of this fall in Colorado. I was impressed by the colours and hues of yellow of some photos when this one appeared. It reminded me of the colours of Klim't work below.
I'm having back problems so I believe I will have to stop blogging for a while. I cannot sat too long at this chair and using the computer is worsening the problem. I should have already stopped last month.
So this picture to enchant you. Thank you Mari!

Update: The photo was taken in Michigan as Mari corrected at a comment.
