'Sophie's Still Life'

I was inspired by a vibrant still life set up on a friend's side board. Every day objects plus a vase of orange lilies were placed in front of a wall hanging of complimentary colours. I love the way the background patterns and colours frame the objects and give a dynamic composition to the still life.
