Inspired by 17th century Dutch masters and their still lifes, this statement piece shows the curated beauty of a flower garden. Instead of setting up a floral display in my studio, I created this still life by photographing it directly in a flower bed in my garden. The green foliage on a cloudy day as the perfect darker background outlining the bright colours ofthe flowers. I then included the natural world with butterflies, bees, insects
and even a snail thriving among the flowers.
