This piece is a first in a series of mixed media work where I paint on top of photography I’ve printed to canvas. I started with the idea of making something magical from my everyday life that I’ve seen so often, it’s become banal, and something I ignore. After an evening rain, I photographed a large hosta plant outside of my home. I used a red gel in front of the lens to create a red hue effect making the plant appear to be on fire. After printing it to canvas, I then painted broad, energetic strokes of red, yellow, and black to emphasize the energy & heat radiating from the composition. This piece feels alive as if the flames are dancing, darting throughout the composition from leaf to leaf.
