Romantic Botanicals #67

Let us be Soft


I am back at the garden with the flowering lettuce. Even on this overcast morning there is lots of bee traffic.

The darkened sky is producing a pastel colour pallet and low tonal contrasts. I love the laciness of the buds, branches bees and flowers create. This is a bouncy and soft work.
