Description

Hellebores, also known as Lenten Roses, are one of my favourite flowers....not least because they bloom in late winter/early spring when pretty much everything else is still hibernating. They're a very old-fashioned flower - I remember them growing in my grandmother's garden. The Helleborus genus consists of approximately 20 species of herbaceous or evergreen perennial flowering plants in the family Ranunculaceae.

This piece was created using digital software to create a line drawing which was then laid over a background composed of multiple image layers to give it a soft and dreamy feel with a soft and gentle colour palette. The title "Joy" refers to the fact that these flowers bloom in late winter.
