I take inspiration from wherever I can get it.
I saw these silk flowers while shopping in Sainsbury's & they gave me the idea for this image. 
I am rarely totally happy with my paintings and this is one of those. If you haven't spotted it yet I have already changed one of the lavender on the front to a poppy. But I think I will be doing some more changes before I am happy with the pansies on the mug. Bottoms up I think!
