Hi This is a mixed media piece I did called Autumn Magic. An acrylic background with acrylic ink and tissue leaves. I then pressed and dried hydrangea bracts and acer leaves glued them on, great fun to do.

This is a sprig of bougainvillea, widespread in Mediterranean countries.

The magenta is the bracts, not the flowers which are small and white.

Cornus kousa ‘Miss Satomi’ is still putting on a wonderful show - this must be week three in full colour. Superb thing, flowering exceptionally well with the branches smothered with bracts.
