More Summer Textures

These wild flowers  

 Queen Anne's lace and day lilies 

seemed a perfect opportunity 

to explore colour contrast 

and airy textures.

The temptation of Colour and Light

Pastel study - Spring Pansies

Although I've been working on a series

 of seaside and beach scenes

the first of the season's spring plants 

are appearing in the stores. 

These vibrant colours were too tempting to resist.

While looking for the right light 

to position my pot of flowers, 

the sunlight streaming onto a pot of ivy 

sitting in the window sill
also caught my attention.
