Spring Displays

This captivating image has its origins in a digital photo, transformed by the action of sunshine on marigold petals.

Christine has a collection of these, and other alternative processes, well worth a look. They are delicate, timeless, not quite painting and not quite photo in their appearance.

It may appear simple, just make a paste of flower petals, spread on art paper and leave a photo to make its mark. But the artistry lies in the combination of image and colour. And in the secret recipe of sunlight, the passing of time.
