I am not sure if I can explain this one or if it even should be explained. Flower petals (peony) a small snail shell and a feather. Dreams and visions are made of very little that's substantial, at least in a material sense, they require us to withdraw into ourselves (shell) and find our wings, so we can float like petals off a blossom in an inner space that grants us dreams and visions... 

All images and textures my own or bought. Edited with Photoshop.

Floating

One moment of peace amongst all the 'busy-ness' of our lives. One moment, when it's just us, when no demands or needs intrude.

Poem to accompany the illustration.

Peonies are absolutely wonderful; I love their texture, colours, and scent. One of the most marvellous flowers around, no wonder they're used so often in Chinese art.
This is the first in a series of peonies with different 'moods'.

There's something special about hawthorn - it's soft and sumptuous and even in your face bright when it's pink with those wonderful intensly green feathery leaves and the start branches with the thorns as a contrast. This is one of my favourite shots of the pink hawthorn.
