Painters frequently paint in layers, as did I in this broad landscape.
Before me was this luxurious carpet…layer upon layer of rich colors and textures that spread as far as my eye could see. Many images in this portfolio were taken during a weeklong wildflower photography workshop in Mt. Crested Butte, Colorado with Alan Rokach in 1997 that nurtured and fertilized my ideas and vision. Mt Crested Butte was ablaze with a carpet of columbine and the burst of delicate blooms contrasted greatly with the mountain backdrop. Playing with juxtaposition, selective focus and point of view, I made the blooms dominate the foreground and melt into the distant mountain.
