New digital collage. As you’ve probably surmised, it’s an orchid with green toy race cars and a button thrown in for good measure. I’m enjoying the formal arrangement in this work and the cosmic rabbit gocco print (in my previous blog post). For a simple arrangement, I spent a surprising amount of time working on this. I had the orchid and green car images included from almost the beginning with various other elements– spoons, spatulas, other buttons, a rooster… After deciding that the orchid and green cars were strong candidates for the work, I realized my existing photos weren’t cutting it. So I took new photographs of them and I’m glad I did. I just got the orchid this past weekend and even with my black thumb, I haven’t killed it yet. Lucky. (I say that in my best Napoleon Dynamite voice. Sweet.) The toy car belonged to me as a child. I have several very cool metal toy cars. This one is a Dinky. Orchid with Green Racer No. 6 is available as an 11″ x 17″ print in my etsy shop.
