Hyacinth, Lemons and Pesto Recipe

Last year I bought this little hyacinth flower from the grocery store and painted it a few times and once on really nice paper after I'd gotten to know it a little better. I loved the little pink vase it was in, although I made mine purple blend. I eventually planted it in my front garden and they emerge every spring pink and lovely.

I think lemons are so fun to paint, especially with the leaves. I don't paint with yellow much. I painted some lemons and an artichoke for a "lemon artichoke pesto" fabric design to enter into a contest on Spoonflower.
