These aconites were brought in from the cold from my lovely neighbour’s garden to use as live specimens. This painting, and Artist Code 1203, is one of two paintings with regard to ‘Botanical Celebration’, the theme of the 2012 SBA exhibition. The rings are gold leaf on a raised gesso base, trimmed with water colour in the five Olympic logo colours.
