Lauded by both collectors and fellow practitioners alike, Ann Blockley is one of the country's most respected artists. Her style is always challenging, yet also constantly intriguing and her less than representational approach instantly provokes a desire in the rest of us to experiment too.

In this genuinely exciting book, Ann pushes the boundaries of flower painting further than ever before. Here are flowers that are little more than colours and shapes, flowers that merge into the surrounding landscape and flowers that become the composition in themselves. And yet they remain flowers, because this isn't a book about abstraction but about interpretation, about making your subject the subject itself and the medium the message.

This is an extraordinary book and a tour de force that will challenge, excite and reward anyone who wants to push the boundaries of art and discover a world of possibilities.
