this is a companion image for ‘rise’ which you will find a bit further on in my portfolio. taken at the same time with the same model. she looks like a flower to me. some sort of exotic orchid. rise
One of my personal favorites. Through this image, I have received a great honor. A Red Bubble artist whose photographic work I greatly respect, Lorraine Creagh , has nominated this image to be showcased in the group Pay it Forward . Here is what Lorraine had to say about this image….”The composition and simplicity is so stunning. I particularly like the quirky photographing of the backs of their ‘heads’. I’m a bit of a sucker when it comes to flowers, and Nancy photographs them so beautifully, so Nancy has my nomination” I hardly know what to say. Thank you, Lorraine. And thanks also to the Pay it Forward group hosts!

Sales of this Design? – 1 sale so far :) / Flying Machine / by Karin Taylor / from the ‘Inspired Series’ / / Mixed Media / ink, chalk pastel, charcoal, acyrlic, mediums / silver, gold, bronze and rose metallic acrylics / adobe photoshop My most recent work, this piece was influenced by the ‘gliders’ in my family who have taken to the sky recently. My husband, my son and their friend Erich are all involved in a local gliding club…and always suggesting I paint an aeroplane lol I thought, there’s no way i can do that! / But i found a way, after lots of thinking on the subject to incorporate a sort of flying contraption i designed myself into this piece. My girl is onward bound and it’s semi-self portrait i guess you could say…altho most people don’t see the resemblance to me….she is a lot younger, perhaps how i would like to be thought of lol Also inspired by my lovely and ever patient friend Christine / a fabulous friend and textile artist, her threads and yarn and tactile things have affected me on an immense scale, so that all my work these days is imbued with these elements….although there is no actual wool or thread in the painting, i have used these as inspiration for her scarf and hair detail. The khaki overalls are what i wear when i’m painting, with a white singlet in summer, or a jumper in winter…...i am yet to find a hairdresser who could accomplish this hairstyle for me.. the little parrot represents conscience, a little voice that knows right from wrong….this is an idea loosely taken from a movie i saw a while ago ‘The Golden Compass’ I dedicate this painting to Christine, as she has listened to all my crazy ideas, and very carefully encourages me or points out things that may help, and i don’t know where i’d be without her…..thanx Chris :) Patchwork and patterns, repitition, daisies, journeys, serene expressions, genuity…..
See, weeds can be beautiful too! This is a fleabane bloom (those tiny daisy-like weed/wildflowers). I gave it a somewhat painted look. This piece was featured in A Photographer’s Craft group. Thank You! —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-— / This piece can be found in my Flora Calendar.
I love African Daisy’s, especially when the petals curl under like this. The cool tone was achieved by using a fluorescent white balance. Make: OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP. / Model: E-510 / Shutter Speed: 1/320 second / F Number: F/4.0 / Focal Length: 35 mm / ISO Speed: 100
