Nature is one of my most favorite subjects to shoot, because I find the wonders of mother nature absolutely exhilarating. The colors, textures, and hues are truly awe inspiring. So when I got the opportunity to visit Keukenhof in Amsterdam, also known as the Garden of Europe, and one of the world's largest flower gardens, I felt like a child in a candy store. Even after having spent the whole day in the gardens and going completely berserk with my camera, I felt as though I could stay there forever in admiration.
These Paeonia flowers are native to Asia, Europe and Western North America, and grow in colors ranging from purple and pink to red, white or yellow, in late spring and early summer. The flowers have a short blooming season, usually only 7–10 days.
Since these flowers and their colors, even in these photographs look so pleasing to the eye, I thought of translating them on to small 12" x 12" canvases, which could truly add value to small spaces and could even be bought for gifting purpose. And these prints can even be re-printed to larger sizes for larger spaces.
To create a stretched canvas print, the photograph is printed directly onto an artist-grade cotton canvas and stretched around 1.0" wooden bars. There is also the option of buying each stretched canvas with a frame where the canvas is flushed inside a wood finish PVC floating frame.
