This image is based on a photograph I took of some beautiful, scented pansies in my Mum's garden in Brighton, Sussex, England. They are very colourful and striking with their mixed colours and cheeky little faces but most striking of all is their wonderful scent, particularly after they have been watered. They really do brighten up window boxes and hanging baskets and they draw your attention, almost as if they have been put in the spotlight and performing, which is what I have tried to achieve with this image, enhancing colours, adding textures and a highlight to draw attention to them.
This piece would be beautiful in your home but unfortunately I couldnt add the beautiful perfume to the image!
