Fresh Flowers is one of the best things I’ve seen recently. Love flowers, but hate watching them wilt and die? This is for you.

I’ve been following Lisa Golightly’s work and career for some time now, and her latest series – the floodline – is just as exceptional as the rest. In it she experiments with cold press watercolor paper, acrylic paint and fabric dye and ends up with lovely abstract results.
