Foxgloves, their Latin name, Digitalis, means 'finger-like' and refers to the tubular flowers of the Foxglove. It is also the name of the drug that comes from the toxins of Foxgloves and is prescribed for heart conditions.

Still playing with the colors and doing monochromatic studies. This one separates really nicely when painting.
I also did some mixes too, to see how it reacts.

But honestly most fun was to paint this fun "hair" on the bird, which I painted without using white or masking fluid.
And I'm super happy how it turned out. Everything else comes just second.

I am continuing to make progress on The Founder's Tomb.

It's getting to the "more staring than painting" stage, and my new brushes from Rosemary &. Co are coming into their own. They are neat and small, and a bit springy. I haven't quite got the knack of them yet, but I like them enormously.

I do have quite a lot still to do, but so far it's going well!
