Having returned from Tuscany just days before this presentation, Raul was eager to share the romance and beauty of materials from the autumn countryside. Reminiscent of the wildflowers edging the rolling fields of sunflowers, this arrangement is designed in a faux finished terra cotta pot painted to depict a weathered, worn pot forgotten on the potting shed floor.
