Jewel Red (M)

A vase of such vibrant colour I had to do a little study of it. Gazanias are known as treasure flowers because of their bright jewel like colours. To compliment this the vase is a jewel like blue as well. Wax medium was used which adds transparency and texture leaving a candle like matte finish.
