My daughter is bright like a daffodil, and cheerful and cheeky. She reminded me of daffodils the other day and I couldn't believe I'd forgotten about them! So here we are!

These are my favourite flowers that I've drawn/painted in a while. It's funny how inspiration disappears at times and then most unexpectedly reappears and bam everything is happening at once and I can't get pen to paper fast enough!

A little row of succulents soaking up the sunshine on a window sill.

Part of a new series that looks at grounding some of my favorite flowers by portraying them in jars/vases/vessels of different descriptions. Loving this work so far!

This is one of the first flowering gum illustrations I did and recently found it in my collection of originals. I love it so much and can already see it in a pattern, it has a lovely vibe about it and I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to share!

This lovely string of pearls design was a special request that I absolutely adored creating! Definitely more from the plant world coming soon.

I'm so pleased this turned out so pretty! It might be a bit cheesy, but I think it's perfect for those 'I heart you, life, it, them' moments.

Part of my still life collection - I had to include hydrangea, one of my favorites, such a beautiful flower.

I love yellow cosmos flowers, they will take over your garden in the most gorgeous way! They self seed, so before you know it, their golden yellow blooms will be popping up all over your yard.

I have these growing in nearly every room in my house - working on my crazy plant lady vibes! Devils Ivy is absolutely amazing and so easy to grow.

Part of my still life collection – love blue hydrangea so much I a had to include her.

I love lavender so much and wish I could fill my garden with it! Unfortunately they don’t like the salty air where I live, it could also have something to do with my gardening skills!

Part of my new still life collection, this carnation mix is one of my favorites! I love the scattered, happy feel of the randomly placed bottles.

A lazy leafy vine pattern – loving it on the cushions!

Poppies are one of the most amazing flowers to watch open, they almost 'pop' and then uncurl their crinkled petals looking very much like crepe paper until they are completely open. So beautiful!

Not only are Calendula flowers beautiful, they also have many healing properties. A plant and flower I would love to learn more about.

I love cosmos flowers! They take over your garden in the most gorgeous way. They are self seeding so before you know it their bright blooms are popping up all over your garden.

Blue iris are such a classic flower, I feel like they would have so many amazing stories to tell if they could talk!

These are flowering across the road from our house at the moment and the smell of their perfume wafting into the kitchen each morning is so beautiful! How could I not do a few studies of this gorgeous native flower.

I haven't had any flowers in my studio this week and with all the rain my potted herbs have been growing like crazy! Picked a few to place in a vase and was inspired to draw them in this scattered, abstract kind of way. I would love this as wallpaper in my kitchen!

Bougainvillea in full bloom, long tendrils of color rich flowers, cascading over everything - stunningly beautiful in my books, every time.

I love cornflowers, their blue color is so intense and they have the most beautiful whimsical earthiness. This piece is pen and gouache on watercolor paper.

These are so gorgeous in real life, huge stems of blue butterfly-like flowers. I've tried to capture some of that beautiful energy here.

Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers. They just make me feel so happy!

Pretty pink floral pattern just in time for spring!
