Rhodies love the climate and acidic soil here, and through out late spring and early summer they are in bloom in many colours and sizes

This drawing was inspired by one growing near by.

Beautiful Frances, vibrant with lovely detailed texture. Although in the real world I think these make me sneeze a lot

Thank you Antspants

Rhodies don't seem to bother my husband too much and he suffers from hayfever so you never know.

Very nice Frances. Looking at that on my computer screen doesn't bother me either.

Beautiful piece Frances, the colors and composition are great. Well done.

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful comments. I had a reference photo that I picked colours from and I created a small palette of colours that I used for the drawing. I also used the photo to examine as I was drawing the different parts and pieces.
