(14,487 posts)I would totally buy those at an art exhibit or gallery (if I could afford to)! Beautiful work!

(14,487 posts)I could see a three panel display with pic #1 on the left, #2 in the center, and either 3 or 4 on the right. I think I prefer #3 because of the way the ruffled edges in the center of the flower stand out.
I am hoping to move into a new house in a couple years. I live in a dump right now. I often fantasize about how I will decorate each room. Your photos totally inspired my imagination!

(29,206 posts)coming up. Crazy! Gave 1/3 of the big bunch to each of my next door neighbors to have some color through this upcoming cold snap. We are going to lose a lot of already-flowering trees around here. Who knows what'll happen to all the cherry blossoms.

(60,071 posts)I noticed the Redbud starting to show color

(29,206 posts)in Spring or Redbuds in Bloom, I think, not finding it online now, but I thought that was just perfection...

(60,071 posts)This image was taken about an hours drive from my house
JudyM
(29,206 posts)More of a pronounced vertical aspect offsetting the beauty of the redbuds. I spent about 15 minutes looking for it last night before I posted, couldn't find it. I'll bookmark this thread for whenever I end up finding it.

(60,071 posts)"Appalachian Wilderness: the great smokie mountans" it has to be in that collection. Maybe a search with his name and book title might help finding the image.
JudyM
(29,206 posts)* on edit. I searched again, it might be the one you found... here, in a poster, though it doesn't match my memory of it. Maybe the stronger vertical impression was from the framing.
alfredo
(60,071 posts)I wasn't sure if the one I chose was close enough to what you remember.
I like the composition and depth.

(29,206 posts)Fave is #4, for me, but all are near-spellbinding. They would surely sell!

(17,083 posts)I can just gaze at that last one; imagine myself a bee inside that cone of flower-skin, the light changing inside, and harvesting the sweet pollen and nectar; enshrouded by the flower's body - sounds, smells, sights . . .

We are going to drive out through Anza-Borrego desert tomorrow morning to check out the flowering. My leg is in a cast, but I hope to be able to get out and stump around a bit.
