Windblown daisies
I just got back from visiting family in the UK. I took many photos including this one of pink daisies in my Mam and Dad’s back garden. (Being from the northeast of England I have a Mam rather than a Mum or Mom, and a back garden not a backyard : ))
I’ve been experimenting with layering painted silk scraps on a painted silk background. More on that in a no doubt much later post. It seems like a better way to capture petals or leaves that are either large-scale or, like these ones, translucent.
This one could be quite fiddly. I love the sense of movement though (the flowers were blowing in the wind a lot and it was difficult to get an unblurred shot). I may attempt a very simplified version…some day. I have a couple of other projects to finish first and am plenty busy in my non-art life at the moment!
