Description

This original digital collage of my traditionally painted Iris blooms was created by no less than fourteen “flattened layers” from four (4) of my original, traditional hand paintings: “Frilly Spring”-Acrylic, “Vintage Vixens”/“Fleurs de Lis” both watercolour, “BUDs Bumblebee Iris”-Colour Pencil; they were then digitally hand painted with accents of digital paint for seamless blending using digital brushes and pigment. Why did I seek to transplant my irises from their happy traditional 2D gardens? I did so because Lois Churchward created a contest, entitled IRISES!… and she only called for two (2) entries. How could I chose?..:-) and so, I began combining iris favs and ended up being transported by my Gerald Finzi classical background music which ushered seven bumblebee BUDs to fly in a harmonious flight formation that took my breath away…all in time for contest entry and…Easter 2022. I am now floating on strains of Yo-Yo Ma’s Cello Suite No.2 in WONDERment of this new digital realm that allows me to “rearrange” my traditional compositions within the Flow of Light! !…EMERGENCE of light into Light- SOoo intoxicating to my aesthetic!
