The latest in my framed collection are these foxgloves.
I love foxgloves, especially the variety these were inspired by - Digitalis purpurea ‘Dalmatian Peach’ . I would love a garden full of towering foxgloves, but every time I’ve planted them, they never return.
It’s the soft colour and the speckled detail in the throats that I’m drawn to. They always make me think of Beatrix Potter and old country cottages.
Here, I’ve tried to capture that and arrange them so they feel like you could walk through them, push them to the side, and find more beyond.
I like the way framing them like this creates shadows and depth, with the light shifting the feel of the piece throughout the day.
Maybe one day I’ll get them to come back in the garden. Any tips?!
Until then …. Paper it is!!!
