He lamented that a palette of ochre, sienna and cobalt can easily become muddied at this time of year. However, this is the dogwood's moment, pared back to her bark, she creates a symphony of colour: blood-orange, acid-lime and sherbet-lemon. The winter sun casts her light playfully, creating an explosion of colour. Seeing how this palette lifts the spirit in a natural setting, I am inspired to experiment with these bold,vibrant shades at home.
