Description
This piece was inspired by a seemingly dead Yucca plant in the high desert of Arizona. But in the heart of the plant lies the promise of a new life. A special moth that lives nowhere else lays its eggs in the tangled filaments that twist around the spikey leaves. When the rains finally come, and the Yucca springs back to life, so do the moths who fly away to find a new way of being. This is a photograph that has been worked with digitally to create a digital painting in vivid colors of blue, green, purple, magenta and black. It's a new art form that I particularly enjoy. Georgia O'Keefe is one of my most significant influences. I often think of her when choosing a plant or landscape to photograph or paint. I wonder what she would do if she was alive today and could use digital media with which to paint.
