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 are called Double Late Tulips because of their shape, which are always large and double. They can easily reach a span of 4 inches / 10 cms across in size. Some cultivars have a sweet fragrance. Blooming in late spring, these tulips introduce charm and romance in the garden with their multi-petaled flowers.
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.
