The Ecstasy of Bloom

Still-life depicting late-summer dahlia, echinacea and flowers from my garden gathered at the height of abundance, where colour, weight and structure are allowed to exist without interruption. Light settles across the petals as presence rather than drama, concentrating attention on the intensity of bloom at its fullest celebratory moment.
