Bluebells Wood

At last I’ve finished my painting of the bluebell wood. I have filled the wood with plants and animals I’ve seen. I used photos I have taken and the figures are inspired by a Victorian painting called the ‘primroses.’
It’s illegal to pick or dig up bluebells in Britain as they are protected species. Bluebells leaves are delicate and if crushed they don’t survive. Spanish Bluebells have escaped from garden and are putting English bluebells at risk. English bluebells wood took hundred of years to be come established with its diverse plants, insects and wildlife.
