Father au naturel
This picture is being brought back to be included more appropriate groups.
This photograph is part of a series titled “Maude’s Delight”
Maude’s Delight
“An intimate study of trees using impressionist in-camera photographic techniques”. These photographs, inspired by a scene from the film “Harold and Maude”, are colorful abstractions of nature intended to evoke an interpretation from each viewer.
Harold and Maude is a film about freedom. These images are about the freedom of expression and authenticity through digital photography.
This photographer feels the character of Maude in the film would be delighted with these images and would urge viewers to visually “feel, and explore”.
Because of the implied nudity and the impressionist abstraction is of a tree parts these photos are now taking on the caricature of “Nude Trees”.

Brilliant…Harold & Maud – my most fave movie ever – never laughed and cried so much. Lovely concept for a series

Thank you so much for your comment. I too put Harold & Maude up there as one of my all time favorites. The scene in the movie where Maude is making tea and trying to get Harold to experience the wood sculpture is the inspiration for the series. I actually had one of these photographs of trees in this series removed from an exhibition as someone complained of nudity.
