Lit From Within, Magenta Fringed Flowers

A rounded bunch of small flowers with magenta and deep purple petals edged in white and fringed like lace. Each bloom has a pale starburst at its centre. The background is soft green with a few blurred pink shapes, and the whole image has a textured, painted look.

A wall piece you can enjoy from across the room and again up close. From a distance it reads as a glowing round bouquet of magenta against soft green. Step closer and each small bloom has a lace-fringed white edge and a pale starburst at its centre, so the whole cluster looks lit from within. The painterly, oil-like surface makes it feel handmade rather than like a stock flower print. That detail separates it from the many pink flower photographs that are only pretty.
