National Trust: Peckover House Garden, Wisbech

Oil pastel of alliums at Peckover House Garden
A3 size

I had to do this sketch really quickly as the bees were out in force and took a liking to me! The allium heads were almost 'blown' and had reached a monumental size - just beautiful.

Oil pastel of large pink Peonie

 This nearly drove me mad but turned out reasonably well in the end.

Yellow Flag Irises
A3

I finally tracked the last of the irises down in a flower bed near the lawn. Unfortunately the Irises in the deep bed against the outer wall had finished, so I had to content myself with these. Copious amounts of geranium added contrast below. I will complete this drawing next time!
