Anthriscus or cow parsley is an herbaceous plant with a hollow stem and delicate, white flowers blooming at the top of the plant. Fluteswort is an annual flower native to Europe especially in the Netherlands and Belgium. It grows mainly in grasslands, roadsides, along waterways and in lightly wooded areas.I think there is something magically theatrical about this type of umbellifer. The use of colour soft cool grey.
Almost all my works I first start manually with a sketch then I created the background first and silhouetted the whistle herb separately to and then digitally mounted the flower over the background. I chose this working method to carefully achieve the right effect.
Finally, the final result was digitally post-processed for the reproduction of Werk aan de muur
Art should surprise, inspire and for me, being allowed to make art is not work but oxygen why I live.
