‘Young or Old but still Spiky’ – Acanthus mollis

'Young or Old but still Spiky' -Acanthus mollis. Ink on paper

Bear’s britches, has very spiky flower spikes. But as the spikes age, they get harder, but remain very attractive. The Acanthus leaves are often seen in Greek and Roman patterns.

I thoroughly enjoyed doing this picture once I had worked out the composition. But ended up with quite a few plasters on my fingers to avoid blood getting on my paper!
