Yellow telephones
in a row in the garden
are ringing,
shrill with light.
from
Daffodils
Inspiration was there to be taken from the early risers in the yard this early spring. They captured the light and threw it out again. It's the same impression I took from the art of Leonid Afremov in Christie's (ST)ART blog (thanks Christie). They are concentrators of light and hope and new life.
Ha! I just posted to Linda that her images were like a character study of a tree. Now I see you have done a beautiful character study of daffodils. I guess we were all three thinking about flowers. Maybe we're ready for Spring?
ReplyDeletePS. The second image is my favorite. It's so feminine and it reminds me of a skirt, fanning when it's owner twirls.
ReplyDeleteB E A U T I F U L Lester! The light coming through the petals is gorgeous and I love the mood of that first image. Very subtle yet it grabs you. I am so enjoying this garden tour guys!
ReplyDeleteLester they are terrific ... love #4 with the light behind the petals ... Can't get my google thing to work here... it's me LindaT
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. I'm encouraged that everybody sees something different that they respond to.
ReplyDeleteLester, these images are tremendously beautiful... I've seen transparent light images printed on clear plastic,
ReplyDeleteOr acetate, then mounted in a window mat, to let the light become more transparent.. If by chance you are interested I could send you one...also I have been scanning small flowers with the scanner door open, and the images are somewhat similar in spirit to your images.. Thanks for sharing them with us. Jane
Jane, thanks so much. I'd love to see your idea in print and try it with these. Or maybe that gold leaf thing you did.
