Dandelion Puffball on the Green macro photograph. The outer parachutes and the core of the dandelion puffball are where the eye finds the focus. It is like diving into a lake and discovering the world below. Natural earth tones are complimented by the bright white of the parachutes.
The view of this photograph is at a high bird eye view. This gives the viewer the feeling like diving into a lake discovering the life below. It has a sense of exploration yet peace and quiet.
Macro photography allows me to get close and intimate with my subject matter. It shows the beauty easily overlooked due to our busy lifestyles. My artwork gives the viewer a sense of calm, peace, and relaxation. A reprieve from daily stresses.
