A great painting for ballet lovers who love some classy vintage style

The artwork is brought to life through subtle textures and the bees that buzz around the pinky-lilac blooms

I always intend to rework this motif into an abstract work but in the end have begun to explore it through more representational images

Created plein air in Otley to make the most of summer's delights
