The small delight of the snowdrop
A couple of days ago I looked out of the kitchen window to see snowdrops! It really was a delightful moment. They had not been apparent the previous day.
What do snowdrops mean to you? To me they represent strength, resilience and perseverance. These delicate looking plants are anything but. They have survived freezing temperatures and pushed up through the dark, cold earth to finally reach the light, when we can enjoy their beautiful display. It is surprising from how far away we can see their dazzling white flowers – almost like little lanterns
My painting is in acrylic on wood, dark dark green, and white tinged with pale green, and hopes to convey something of the snowdrop’s power.

Thanks Liz!
I love snowdrops. They push themselves upwards in all sorts of places, very hardy in harsh conditions. So many different varieties. Hoping to get on a snowdrop walk very soon.
Lovely depiction of them in your art. Thank you.
