This is definitely hellebore season and these flowers are SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I really love how the flowers hang from the curved stems as well as the contrast between the pointy leaves and the rounded flowers. These are 3 of my recent hellebore paintings.

| "Magic & Hellebore" • Original watercolor on 140# cold press paper • 11" x 7.5" |
This piece started as a wash that I looked at for weeks before deciding that it would be a perfect hellebore piece. It was a challenge to find the flowers in the wash but very rewarding.
 |
| "Hellebore Magic" • Original watercolor on handmade rough press paper • 8.25" x 8.5" |
|
This piece started with just 2 colors, bloodstone genuine and duochrome bronze. The wash was pretty light, so as I added the flower shapes I darkened around them. I like the color variation. This paper is rough press, so the texture shows in the painting. All edged have a deckle.

| "Hellebore Minuet" • Original watercolor on handmade rough press paper • 9.25" x 12" |
I really like the simple shapes in this piece.
