Description
This image is reminiscent of the style of French Impressionist painter, Claude Monet.
This digital creation is a collage of three original photographs and several texture layers.
The primary subject matter is a single purplish pink macro cherry blossom image in the lower left. It is facing upwards to the sky, in a cheerful, optimistic posture. That image was captured in a walk around my neighborhood in Tallahassee, when our lovely Southern town is in her glory! Scattered across the image, but most visible on the right side, are small white flowers which were photographed growing on the edge of a lake in Alabama. Barely perceptible in the upper right is a branch of white pear blossoms photographed on my family's land in northwest Florida.
The pastel palette speaks of spring or summertime. There is an airy, dreamy, ethereal look and feel to this impressionistic floral montage. This layered, textured digital artwork was created shortly after a trip to France where we got to see Monet's magnificent water lily canvases at a gallery in Paris, and also his home in Giverny, France where the artist, who was also a master gardener, created the Japanese Gardens with the famous water lily pond which was the inspiration for his famous work - and for this piece!
