It was with mixed emotion that I decided to go away for a quick break. Much was going on in the studio and I didn't want to miss a thing....
Eleven local artists are taking part in an exhibition that Petals is hosting from February 9 - 23 at our 3 Park Road location. Their inspiration was, of course, flowers and being explored in their own medium: artists creating mosaics with tile, images formed from digital and water colour. The parameters were loose; creativity is never rewarded by a straight jacket. I had heard snippets about their ideas. Suddenly I couldn't wait. Nor, it appeared, could Amanda.
I spoke to her yesterday. "You should see the flowers..." she said. "They have just arrived - they are so beautiful. I couldn't wait until I got home to photograph them, so I shot them in the studio." Since the redesign of the website and studio, we have loved having more and more people come in and see what flowers are available. Starting "Friday's Flowers" on the blog also allows you to see what has just arrived. All available in limited quantities. All available for sale!
Along with the flowers from which the artists can select as their muse, we received Sweet Pea (as above). Lilac (as below)...
Dried lavender...
Parrot Tulips...
Mango calla lilies.... (this colour way is exquisite)

Anemones...
Peonies...
