"Cottage Blooms"

18x14 inches / oil on canvas

 

I always love the more casual floral arrangements that retain a sense of the garden even when brought indoors. An old coffee can serves to maintain that rustic atmosphere. This composition seems to behold the very breath of Summertime and the essence of a country cottage garden, hence the title.
