'Te Mata Petal Portal - Heretaunga Dreamin''

'Te Mata Petal Portal - Heretaunga Dreamin'' by Abbey Merson
This original artwork is from Abbey's 2024 Summer collection.
 
My Petal Portals are glimpses into secret gardens - windows to special moments from the past. Remember those lovely evenings spent with loved ones on the porch, admiring your hard work as the sun sets, or the joy of playing in your grandmother’s garden among the blooms, playing hide and seek and picking petals for potions.
 
Each piece is made with love and care, creating a beautiful keepsake that connects you to your happiest memories.
 
This particular one features TeMata Peak in the distance, with a horde of hydrangeas in the fore. The petals almost glow in the dimming evening light, air heavy with the scent of blooms and the sound of someone calling you in for tea.
