Faded Blooms

The bucket of flowers in ‘Faded Blooms’ had been gathering in my studio as I photographed the living and used it to discard the dying specimens. I was about to take it out to the compost, when I suddenly saw it for the exquisite picture it could be; The cerulean blue of the plastic bucket set off the various pinks and pale yellow of the peonies and carnations beautifully.
