Flowers of Creativity. The energy brought by spring's greenery awakens bursts of creativity in many of us, which are channelled into tidying up our homes and gardens. We make room for the new, dream and get excited. The Freesia design by Lasse Kovanen feels just like that restless, exciting spring buzz. Painted quickly and with flair using the traditional tempera technique, also used in icon painting, the pattern is full of details that have emerged from the translucency and layering characteristic of the painting method.
