Botanical Bats

Here are a couple of vintage bats (or paddles?!) which I painted with a selection of fruit, flowers, a vegetable and a caterpillar.  I hadn't planned on the black one, but the first bat above was so much fun to paint (and it sold so quickly!) that I thought it might be fun to see how the composition would look on a completely different colour.  That one has sold now, too.

Thanks again to either Miss Pen or The Earwig for collecting me these beautiful vintage bats from Tasmania.
