This still life photograph of garden flowers is a study in textures - spiky lavender allium flowers, fluffy peony flowers, dogwoods, and the irregular surface of the pitcher. The play of light and dark echos classic Dutch still life paintings, while the simple color scheme and soft light lend the image a calm and contemplative quality.
Working with my camera and homegrown garden plants, I create image of flowers that are vibrant and joyful, and I hope to capture a little bit of the wild essence of nature.
