Heavy rain had followed a stretch of hot, dry weather and while the plants were desperate for the drink, the blooms were bruised.  However, this isn’t a reason not to photograph them as the Dutch Masters were known to paint decay and imperfection. Each flower here has its own symbolism and even the butterfly and empty scallop shell tells their own story. Giclée printed on archival quality photo lustre paper and mounted onto aluminium dibond, black wood tray frame. 510x760mm
