The mature flower head of Protea roupelliae is wha

The mature flower head of Protea roupelliae is what stole my heart — velvety spoons of coral pinks and golden yellows, opening to a rich central core. I appreciated how leaves closer to the protea inflorescence were covered in a blanket of silvery hairs, whereas older leaves further down the stalk, shed their blankets, revealing a leathery surface texture.
.
These small Protea trees were growing abundantly on a beautiful farm inland KwaZulu-Natal, where I was working on a rare and protected orchid species. Even though proteas are generally associated with the Western Cape, this is one of the few species growing in the Eastern parts of South Africa.

The velvety bud of Protea roupelliae. Delicate, vibrant, youthful.

Sometimes the winding paths of leaf miners can be seen, for they use the leaves of this species as their larval food plant.

Back to what’s happening in my studio… week 4

Back to what’s happening in my studio… week 4 of 6 in my brace. One-handed painting feels SLOW with major deadlines approaching!
.
Sometimes one is forced to slow down. I’m endlessly grateful that my right hand wasn’t injured, and hopeful for steady progress to the healing nerves and tendons on the left 🙏🏼

Protea speciosa in full bloom. I loved the contrasting textures of bold green, nibbled leaves, encircling the pearl-like cone of silky pink petals, fringed with tawny beards.
