Blossoms

The use of florals as subject matter is always enjoyable. This simple one is a bit of a “hybrid” as it combines features of roses with cherry blossoms! The key to a interesting floral composition is to include stages of growth in flowers, with some full blooms, some partially opened , and a few emerging buds. Branches and leaves add to the interest. Here, the use of hard and soft edges helps to keep the eye moving into different areas of the piece.
