I tried to really let the pinks take center stage but the delicate whites lace it like sugar. I love the vintage frame and am really happy with the way the colors of the old yellowed mat look with the image. Also the frame is made of a beautiful soft grey.

I was learning to make ‘Steak Bernaise’ and was trying out tarragon for the first time. (You will notice it on the list). The challenge was to compose something to suit this odd gold frame, which I undertook with relish.
