Queen Anne's Lace 3 Moonbeam

I like to experiment with both high-key and low-key artwork. It gives extra variety and it sometimes changes the mood and emotional impact of art.  In Queen Anne's Lace 3 Moonbeam, I had this reference photo with beautiful flowers, but it was taken at an angle so the sky was in the right corner. I had to change the background if i were to use this image.

I decided on adding texture from other parts of the background then accentuated the plant and flower lines and decided that it would be great with a moonbeam like glow and focus allowing me to further remove attention from the angle of the flowers and the background. I hope you like it.

Queen Anne's Lace 1 & 2

Queen Anne's Lace or Wild Carrot is a wildflower with clusters of very small white flowers. I was sent several unedited photos by a friend and artist to experiment with and use in art. Here are the first two works.

Queen Anne's Lace 1

Queen Anne's Lace 1 has enhanced color and saturation to make the flower 'pop' simple yet effective with that extra saturation and other adjustments.

Queen Anne's Lace 2

This Queen Anne's Lace floral artwork had to be simplified because it just had too much detail, so I gave the entire background a painterly effect which gave it an impressionistic feel which one friend compared to Monet who made many wonderful garden paintings. I didn't give the flowers the same painting look so they stand out with most of their detail.



It was a pleasure to work with the reference photos. If you have some high-resolution photos that you'd like to have me include in my artwork, let me know in Twitter or Facebook.  Don't forget I'm also available for artistic digital portraits.
