“It is a very beautiful day. The woman looks around and thinks: ‘there cannot ever have been a spring more beautiful than this. I did not know until now that clouds could be like this. I did not know that the sky is the sea and that clouds are the souls of happy ships, sunk long ago. I did not know that the wind could be tender, like hands as they caress – what did I know – until now?” ― Unica Zürn
A lot of time goes into making these images and I often have several in progress at a time. They are made to be printed at a large size. This one was made as a celebration of the plant life that graces our world and bursts forth with incredible beauty after the long winter.
Lovely colours. One can gaze at it for hours:-)
Thank you so much. They are primarily natural colors that I gave a bit more “vibrance” to. I made it to print large and I was gazing at it for hours to make it. LOL
Very lovely. Refreshing heart and mind..
Thank you, It was a lot of cutting and pasting for many days while I was having coffee. Akin to doodling I guess. Cheers.
A great kallidoscope vision, very good job. regards Howard
Thanks Oscar. It is one quarter of the work if you reflect it twice (laughing) and symmetry in composition is almost like cheating (laughing again) … The function on the software is “mandala” – it has collide-a-scope (still laughing) but mandala just flips on an axis, or many …
It was a lot of cutting and pasting while having coffee. Cheers mate
I suppose coffee and music Howard, hahaha, good job and patient

Thank you very much. 🙂
It is beautiful, Howard! Love all the pretty colours…
Thanks. They are all plant based – like 2-D flower arranging. Thank you plants!
So cool…
Oh, there is this feature “vibrance” which I obviously used to hype nature. It’s not nice to fool mother nature but I think hyping is OK.
Lol… am sure she won’t mind… 😉
Hmmm. had to come up here to reply – they had these ads when I was a kid – https://youtu.be/qWMyWr9_CVo

Nicely done Howard. Beautiful colors.
Thanks Carol. Colors from nature are the best. (I only enhanced them a little) 🙂
Thanks. The whole thing is kind of an excuse for the colors. 🙂
