January 2016 Day 7 Painting Challenge

Dance of the Lupines

This is the time of year when the lupines are in full bloom on my friend, Cynthia's farm in New Zealand. There were lots sprinkled throughout the expansive gardens on the farm where I stayed, just a few kilometers away from my friend's sheep farm. Having spent most of my life in the burbs, I enjoyed time each day walking around the farm, taking in all the sights and sounds. The gardens had pockets of lupines, each color with a distinct fragrance and I marveled at the intricacy of the many blossoms on each stem. 

Dance of the Lupines is made of Corriedale, Merino and silk tops.
