Back to Dahlia again, I guess I can't stay away for long... ;)
This beauty looked like it had had paint thrown at it - it was so special. I found the photo I had snapped in Ballycastle garden centre way back last year, and I was so glad to revisit it!

It's a hat-trick! Three in a row, and not even beginning to tire of the Dahlia... but you might be, so I promise to paint something else next ;)

You see, Dahlia a Day it is! ;)
This one (a karma Dahlia) is from the deep green flat lay in my portfolio... couldn't resist drawing that one!

I seriously never tire of Dahlia's. There are so many varieties, shapes, petal formations and colours to delve in to... I could probably do a 'Dahlia a Day' series without too much trouble!
Anway, this was day 17: #yourdailypetal
Nice to work on something with lots of red, as it's not my usual palette... love it here though with hot pink and apricot.

I drew these stunning Dahlia's once before, but only in pen and ink - I photographed them a few summers ago at the Botanic Gardens in Belfast and fell in love with their hot orange colour, wavy and wany petals and just how gorgeous they were! It was such a treat to revisit this subject, but this time in colour...
Dahlia's are right up there as one of my favourite blooms, so it's nice to spend some time with these as peak season is still some way off!
