Description
Freshly harvested from deep within the earthy loam, the scent of fresh rain blankets these jewel-toned beauties with memories of summer and the cooling breezes sharpening the edges of shorter days. Contrasting organic and inorganic textures, elements of earth and iron, patterns both curved and linear, and natural hues in brilliant warms and thirst-slaking cools compelled me to capture this botanical still life, a scene infused with the siren song of petrichor—that nostalgic smell of fresh first rain after the heat of summer. Summer washes into fall, the generous abundance and spectacular palette of nature’s gifts a reminder to give thanks in the moment.
