Sabbatical Still Life

Before I continue with my series of large and intricate paintings, I'm fiddling with some floral still life subject matter on a smaller scale. I suppose my style could be either meticulous or obsessive, depending on which angle you take it from! I always make sure that when you look close enough, you see that the patterns aren't perfect. They're very handmade.

This painting came from an idea of making a series of paintings of flowers and material and putting them together on a larger surface to make a quilt out of the paintings - I might still pursue that, but for the time being, this is a little R & R for me.
