Janet Davies ARPS - Statement of Intent:

The Beauty of Flowers

“What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?”

The verse of this poem, “Leisure”, indicates my intentions with this panel. There are subtle tones and shapes within flowers, that we simply do not notice as we become too absorbed with our daily lives.

These are “bee’s eye images”! The peculiarities and the textures of each flower are so familiar to the bee. We need to put ourselves in his position!

“Every flower is
A beautiful masterpiece
Winged or blossom stemmed.”

When we get this close, there is so much to see, that we have to slow down to appreciate what is there, to become more peaceful and, possibly, even to meditate, thinking how quietly they have grown to bring us such beauty and perfume.

“A poor life this, if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare”
