Pictured here is Lynne Harkes's 'A Floral Welcome', part of her exhibition currently showing at Bon Papillon on Howe Street.
It almost makes you wish you were a bee.
In her own words, Harkes's large-scale, minutely observed studies of flowering and decay allow her to 'momentarily step into a calm space.
'I hope my paintings convey my devotion to the spiritual side of life and appreciation of the daily wonder that surrounds us.'
Edinburgh-born Harkes's exhibition continues at 15 Howe Street until 5 April. You can see more of her work by going to the artist's website at www.lynneharkes.co.uk
