Fine Art Flower Cards
Just added to the online store - three new fine art prints… flowers don’t yer know. Tulips, a mixed bouquet and pastel pink roses.
I brief walk yesterday in the rain and strong winds. I had to get out of the flat for some fresh air and away from the computer screen.
In addition to finding some wild garlic - which I did'’t get to use in a photo before eating - a gnarly, twisted twig fell into my path which I knew would make for a good subject. It seems I am building up a little series of flower/foliage images… I rather like the simplicity and delicacy of this image. I’ve gone for a 4x5 crop rather than my usual square format as I felt the extra space was around the subject was required.
One of my own ‘criticisms’ is that my images verge on the dark, moody end of the scale. It’s just me I guess… an inherent style, that my eye just prefers. I marvel at those who produce images that are light and airy. Just scrolling through my Instagram feed highlights plenty of fantastic photographers and image-makers that seem to manage this lighter, softer style with little effort.
Having just purchased a Gerbera for a little gift to my sister when I visit later this week, I thought I would at least try and get an image in a lighter style. This is the result…
For a change, I turned the camera to some fresh flowers. Three bunches for £3 brought mid-week; by the weekend in full bloom. Narcissus have been suggested a couple of times over the last few weeks by a member of the family to add variety to the Kitchen Scales series. I fully intended to put them on one of the eight(!) vintage scales I have now accumulated. But I just couldn’t get a pleasing arrangement.
In keeping with the Kitchen Scales series, it is a simple setup, just flowers in a pot. But I rather like its simplicity, I have uploaded the photo to Etsy… For this image, I have set a print limit of just 20.
