Pink Centered Carnations 1 & 2 Ethereal Radiance and Contemplation
Carnations are my favorite cut flower since they are not common in gardens yet very cheap cut. They also keep nice for about 3 days. They also come in quite a few different color combinations. Roses are also easy to buy as cut flowers, but cut-roses seem to be inferior in quality compared to those I can find growing in parks or sidewalks. Here are the first two in my pink centered carnation flower series. The centers are pink and the rest is white.

Pink and White Carnations 2 is from the same batch of photos I made the first, but as you have probably noticed, I don’t like making cookie-cutter artwork. I post-process each photo separately. Sometimes they look similar and sometimes they don’t. While art galleries may not like truly original artwork, I find this to be much less boring.
In this artwork, I decided to enhance the lines and colors present as well as enhance the white in the white flower which in the original photo had a bit too much yellow-green highlights. I did darken the background a little and reduced the light coming from the window to the left.
