This is Celmesia Lyallii, I think I have that right from my days as an assistant to Hugh Wilson when he was surveying the plants of the Mt Cook region in the late ’60s, early ’70s.

Lillies

This is not really a Lily, but a buttercup. Ranunculus Lyallii

it is iconic in New Zealand and iwas the emblem for Mt Cook Airlines and buses until Air New Zealand took them over. I want to find one of those old logos, can’t find it on the web.

I was pleased to find these on my walk up to the Ball Shelter.

Manuka 2

#252 Manuka 2

Known also as tea-tree and the New Zealand Christmas tree as it always flowers around this time of the year, our place at Mt. Lyford is surrounded by trees with slightly pinkish white flowers.

It is these very flowers that put the small pink emblem into #246 below.

I prefer the previous sketch. Simple.

Christmas Lillies 2

#199 Lillies 2

Same vase of flowers but re-done, finer, more time spent, who knows?

One thing that has happened using the “soft pastel” settings is that I feel confident I can repeat fairly easily what I am doing here. Every vase of flowers I see becomes a sketch in my head.he

On this occasion the flowers were not arranged symmetrically so the vase is not in the middle – disturbs me.

Now I am interested in the jug as well as the flowers. Something to follow through here.

Christmas Lillies – flowers in a vase – a Kiwi thing

#198 Lillies

It is a real New Zealand kiwi thing as far as I know to have these big lillies out at Christmas time. I can’t recall having them in Australia, maybe they do now.

The origins of this sketch is a discussion about originality & the way the subject matter may or may not matter. I do a lot of ordinary subjects, why not a vase of flowers.

I thought the flowers would suit a red background. It seems a bit much, but I tried several others & nothing worked as well. This was done in one pencil setting, one width, one angle.
