02/01/2019 Calendula in a glass jar

 Oil on primed card 4x6" available from Newbloodart

It was great to find a couple of calendula flowers still growing on my allotment yesterday.  Looking forwards to some spring bulbs coming through soon as well.
I perched this arrangement right at the front edge of my shadow box which gave the lighting a softer more natural feel. I was surprised to be able to capture the intense orange of the petals but I think maybe the subdued lighting helped me with this.
