Helena McConochie Art

I am an artist who paints large scale flowers, slightly cropped in oil paint. My flowers are not always in season when I need them so sometimes I take photographs of them when they are available. I am quiet fussy with which flowers I use as they have to perform exactly as I want them. My mother had an amazing garden so I have a lot of history around flowers with seasons, ability to cope with climates and soils, how to get the best result from each flower. Sometimes I feel my art is the same.
