I’ll show another pair of photographs of flowers in the upcoming show at the Governor’s Gallery. I made both of these from bouquets of flowers I purchased to brighten winter days. Being able to work with a good bit of control over lighting and background, without wind and cold, is a delight. I also find I take more time to actually look and see the flowers than I usually do when working outside.
The Parrot Tulip was nearly a week old when I made this photograph. By then it had drooped over and the colors had mellowed. Many who have seen this image elsewhere are not sure whether they are looking at a plant or feather or “what is it?”
The Lily is simply a joy, the lines and subtle greens, the softness. I can tell you the January day I made this photograph was transformed by this gorgeous flower.
This pair of flower images will hang together on one of the Gallery walls. I’ll enjoy seeing them together and remembering the days I made them as the Vermont winter carried on.
Still Learning To See 
BEAUTIFUL IMAGES…SINCERELY ANDREA:))
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed them and appreciate your visiting my blog. All the best.
Gorgeous – there’s a real challenge in getting a good flower shot I think. You’d think a good photo would be easy since flowers are so beautiful. But it’s harder than it looks.
