Floating

[Rob MacKillop]

Flowers in a puddle. I saw the puddle on my way to the shops, and broke off this twig of flowers from a neighbour's garden and threw it in the puddle for returning to later. After taking the shopping home, I went back and took a few shots. I edited one and uploaded it earlier, but I wasn't completely happy with it. So I went back the evening and took a few more. This one turned out how I imagined and hoped it might.

I had in mind some paintings I'd seen in my past, but I don't know who they were by, or even where I saw them. Was it a gallery or a book? I can't recall. But I know I've caught something of their quality. Any idea who the artist might have been?

Stunning Rob, absolutely stunning.

I know the type of pictures you mean, sort of 17th century. Paul might come up with a name.

A wonderful composition and grand saturation of colours, Rob.

Thanks, Pete. Yes, I'm thinking 17th century, maybe Dutch.

Thanks Nihat. Glad you like it.

Really wonderful Rob. I love the saturated colours of the flowers combined with the more indistinct elements of the leaves and stalk

Thanks a lot, Lesley. Glad you like it.
