We've just returned from a fortnight in Tenerife where I had all the time in the world to sketch in my home made journal filled with pale shades of mi-tientes paper. This fragrant flower was growing in the hotel gardens and I picked it after dark to smuggle to our room to draw over 3 days as the bud opened. I used a pigment gel pen for the white parts of the petals. I'd love to know the name of the plant if anyone knows it.
Beautiful study. It looks like a Bauhinia, or Orchid tree.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a white oleander... beautiful but poisonous.
