Some great work in last month's challenge and I can't quite believe it's time for another one already! So let's go No Mow May and be inspired to paint wildflower meadows, some of the creatures and creepy crawlies that are helped by keeping our grass uncut for a few weeks, different types of grass or anything else that this subject might bring to mind.

Not a new one - think it might just about fit the challenge, although it’s a bit abstract.  (The butterflies are collage, not painted).

What a lovely challenge.   This is an ancient very small watercolour of mine.   Not sure if I could do it again.   Silly eyes Jenny and Paul Little gems..

The rape seed is beginning to flower. Against a blue sky it is terrific.

All lovely so far! The rape flowers used to make me sneeze like mad but I must have become acclimatised to it!

Rape does have a strange unpleasant smell. One place where all sorts of creatures inhabit is the allotment.Here are two views of our allotment ( really “ his” allotment). The grassy path goes up past everyone’s bit ( ours is nearest) and the painting on the right is a neglected bit but full of critters I’m sure.

Delightful work, everyone. The scent of rapeseed flower has always seemed to me similar to bluebells. We rarely see life within the undergrowth, but its there, no doubt about that.

This month's challenge has really brought out some Spectacular images!  Here's my little bit. This is my back fence which is between my yard and my neighbor's. He is remodeling his place, and has let the grounds go a bit.
