Finding Inspiration: Hampton Court Flower Show

Flowers and gardens have always been a great source of inspiration to me.

At college it was always the floral drawing projects that would get my creative juices flowing...  So a little trip to Hampton Court Flower Show for my Mother-in-law's birthday recently was right up my street!

What really inspired me was all the soft meadow-style planting: corn flowers, cow-parsley; colour and texture strewn about like confetti. Doubtless certain things I saw will make their way into my work, so here's a few little pics from the day - you saw it here first!

Glorious, glamorous foxtail lillies

I love this dusky peach colour!

The gentle chaos of meadow planting

Interesting combination of textures
