The Chosen One
How gleeful this little flower is to be the chosen one, oblivious to the beheaded stems clutched in the girl's opposite hand.
When I walked into my studio today, I decided to work simply and not overthink my image. At the start, I didn't really have a strong idea. However, during the process of cutting and gluing the story developed and told itself! A terror in the garden!
To create the background I painted on acrylics with a dry brush. Then I cut paper, inked in some details, scanned, and digitally added lights and shadows in Photoshop.

ReplyDeleteKind of evil, but very cool! She looks gleeful even though she's chopped off several flowers to get her prize! I love the faces on the flowers, and that dry-brushed background is excellent in contrast to the almost molded figure of the girl and flowers. Really fine job:>
