A Still life - but why do these flowers look so good?..

Why do these purple daisies and white chrysanthemums look so good together? Apart from the fact that they are freshly picked, it's probably something to do with the overall complementary colour scheme.
The "white" chrysanthemums actually have a yellowish hue which is complementary to the purple hue of the daisies.



Nature creates a classic combo - gold and purple look good together!

An Easter treat...





On Easter Sunday, what could be better than unwrapping and eating some smooth and creamy Cadbury milk chocolate Easter eggs?
Well, as an artist, my answer would have to be putting them in glass bowls and photographing them! There are a lot of aesthetic considerations for me here - I just love the combination of the three primary colours and the shine of the foil wrappers and the reflection of the blue glass. I kept them for several weeks after Easter before eating them.
