I find no location more sublime than the ocean and other bodies of water, such as the lagoon in this piece. I've photographed lagoons before dawn to capture the mist that floats above and mutes the surrounding colors. For this vessel, she rises while the moon is still visible. Her flower is the Black Velvet Petunia, which draws you in because of its beautiful blackness, similar to being drawn to a deep pool of water. And, while there is no truly black flower, this petunia comes close. Her sister piece is Diva of the Desert, and they look glorious together.
This digitally-illustrated fine art Giclée print is printed with 11 inks for ultra-rich color and printed on archival paper with an archival life of 80+ years.
The gorgeous, smooth cotton-based paper, Hahnemühle Photorag, has a matte finish and allows for muted blacks, excellent detail, an even color reproduction, and vibrant color gradients. I equate the texture and color to rich velvet.
This fine art print is available in three sizes:
12 x 18 in / 30 x 46 cm
16 x 24 in / 41 x 61 cm
24 x 36 in / 61 x 91 cm
Each size has a white border to allow for framing with or without a matte. My digital signature has been printed in the lower right border area.
