Up Close and Personal - Fine Art Floral Photo

Up Close and Personal  is one of my beautiful Fine Art Floral Photos of a White Dahlia with gentle curving petals back lit by the sun!

This was fun to shoot, as I had to lay down on a nice soft lawn to get this much detail.

These small photos are perfect for apartments, smaller homes, displaying on a desk at the workplace to help personalize a space or to give as a gift. They are also a great way to start a photography collection!

Printed with archival ink on Canson PhotoSatin paper and is available to purchase in multiple sizes.

This is one of my new series of ACEO's, they are miniature works of art. ACEO stands for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals". This artwork has one basic rule - they are 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches - the size of a trading card. I just completed several and will be posting them regularly!

Dragonfly - In progress

The first time I went out in my yard this morning the largest dragonfly I've ever seen flew by me, I saw it out the corner of my eye and it was so big, at first I thought it was a small bird! It was blue and it flew around my fence a few times and then flew away.

A few moments later, a smaller brown/beige dragon fly landed on the pine tree closest to my house, I walked over to get a good close look and to say hi. It flew around a little bit and kept coming back, landing on the same branch, which was a little above my head. It was looking at me too and it's mouth was moving, but it wasn't eating anything, I feel it was saying something to me, it was telling me to finish the dragonfly drawing that I started quite a while ago when another dragonfly landed on my sketchbook. Here is the starting sketch:

Work in Progress Update on A Collection of Hearts

This is A Collection of Hearts (working title, as I may change it and give this one to another piece.)Color pencil on paper. I've thought about this imagery for a while and finally put it down on paper last night. Stay tuned for the completion!

At my wonderful wedding anniversary weekend away with Haji at the beautiful Rolling Ridge Retreat Center in North Andover, MA, I started the leaves and decided to outline the hearts in black, at first I tried indigo blue (which is becoming a fav outlining color for me!) for the outline, but it wasn't dark enough.

The start of the piece.
