Set on some handmade terracotta bricks, in a small alabaster cup, these little flowers hold all the charm of Spring in their simple shapes and beautiful colours.  When in the shade of another flower the yellow takes on a greenish hue, the mauve becomes intense magenta in places.  Nature really is a wonder and for a painter, despite its difficulties, painting flowers is such a joy to share.
