In Dawning Bloom 1, a close-up photograph uses balanced neutral tones to capture a starflower in fine detail. Composed of a stunning bouquet of delicate taupe accents, slender vertical lines gracefully flow from the petals' outer edges down toward a center star creating a distinctive and highly tactile visual that pops against a white background. A beautiful companion piece to Dawning Bloom 2, Dawning Bloom 1 is an original and alluring botanical print on textured paper.
Artist Commentary: This photograph was taken during a neighborhood walk in Eugene, Oregon in early summer, 2021. The surprising perspective, repetitive flower poufs, and rays of sunlight combine into a compelling composition.
