Country Garden Platter - JP3174

A special bouquet for you from the garden of my paint box. On this piece the center bouquet is painted with more contrast so that it becomes the center of interest. The small bouquets are kept low contrast and painted with gentle techniques. In fact, they could be one as a soft monochromatic sketch, if you’d prefer.
