From an original drawing - Inula Helenium in Motion.
Inula Helenium is described as a "robust and rather splendid introduced wild flower with large, wrinkled basal leaves, bearing in Summer large, distinctive, bright yellow flowers".
I am attracted to this plant by its originality and its hardiness. But most of all the spirals of its unfurled flower. There is a sense of pent up energy and movement in these spirals which I have tried to bring to the whole drawing. The sunniness of the yellow led me to bring a sky blue to the leaves.
