Snake’s head fritillary! I’ve seen these for years in posts by friends in the UK but had never seen one in person so I bought some bulbs last autumn. Charming little checkered bells.

🌷 🖤 🏁 🌿 🐛 🐌 ✨ // still life with fritillaries & hellebores // gouache on hot press paper

A gift painted for a friend for their help with top surgery stuff! fritillaries are wild; they're actually checkered that way in nature, and hellebores really do come in black.
