The Fritillaria have bloomed outside my studio in the last couple of weeks and how pretty they are. I got my husband to photograph them so that I can use them as reference material for paintings. He photographed them as they were, against the green background of the rest of the garden and against a piece of white card so that they would stand out.

The lovely purple checkerboard patterns will be very challenging to paint but during this week I intend to give it a go.

The advantage of photographing them against the card is that the flowers cast very interesting shadow patterns and again these will be intriguing to paint.
