Clematis Huldine
This is my first attempt to botanical art, back in 2011.
I started exploring this demanding technique under the expert and comforting guidance of a wonderful teacher and exceptional person @artdesfleurs. A quite consuming passion was born and the dearest friends met along the way.
After a break due to moving abroad, time to go back to work now and play with this unique way of portraying nature’s beauty #springcalling #botanicalart #watercolor #timetravel #creativeadventures #topaintistoloveagain #artislife #lifeisart

Further along the rabbit hole, in 1999 we moved to the ground floor of the building, I took care of all the drawings and supervision needed for the transformations of the apartment, I started a garden on the terrace, in the entrance I painted a sky on the ceiling and started murals (still unfinished 22 years later!). I had planned a whole Swedish gustavian style painted program but still three munchkins to take care of so it didn’t happen. My hands were always full with more urgent things to do and I was so exhausted I stopped taking commissions. And then trompe-l’œil fell out of fashion.
Nevertheless, art kept calling me like mermaids in the sea, my artistic odyssey was not over. To meet more interior and poetic thoughts I explored ink painting with a Chinese artist.
