About the artwork

Morning Glory with Blue Sky, green foliage, and brown branches. The morning glories this year are putting on an amazing show. I can't recall ever seeing so many morning glories popping up in our garden. The honeybees love them. Normally I would be annoyed since they seem so invasive. But they are growing in sports and I don't mind them so much. The morning glory is symbolic of strength, giving a person the power to realize their hopes and dreams. Not surprisingly as the morning glory only lives for the day. It will start to open before the sun rises and then shows its beauty to quietly wilt at night for a new day to come and a new blossom to bloom. Here for a fresh new start.

The view of this photograph is at a low -level angle. This gives the viewer the feeling like one is looking up towards.
The atmosphere of this floral is sunny and pleasant. The blue portraits a calming soothing sense of wellbeing.

Macro photography allows me to get close and intimate with my subject matter. It shows the beauty easily overlooked due to our busy lifestyles. My artwork gives the viewer a sense of calm, peace, and relaxation. A reprieve from daily stresses.

As a photographer who comes from the days of film, I do minimal post-processing. Much like I did in the traditional darkroom. I want the viewer to feel like they are right there where my photograph was taken. Creating a visual escape.
