I have been branching into becoming a flower farmer and this picture was inspired by the gorgeous ranunculus that grew in my garden this year.I am especially proud of them as this is the first time I have grown them and they have turned out well.The multitude of colours I saw, I was unable to put them all on the canvas for fear of it looking gaudy.The end result is something I am proud of.I feel the beauty of these flowers will bring class to a room as a ranunculus is a very classy flower.I have used a structured paint to give the flowers a 3 d effect and also used a spatula to paint the background and add depth to the painting by forming scratch marks, if you look carefully.I always have felt the background is just as special as the foreground
