Natural Beauty Series – “Revealing my true self”

Continuing my Cherry Natural Beauty series, “Revealing my true self” (Cherry 5) has now been completed.

Casting off the frills and fancy blossom to reveal my true natural beauty for all to see, the blossom tree. There are multiple messages hidden in this image including the awe I feel watching nature tease us with a short fix of stunning blooms and then showing us the true beauty of its creation and how it thrives and grows strong without the needs for further adornments.

Created using the same base photographs of cherry blossom and trees used in the previous 4 pieces with the addition of some additional photographs I took this week (near Riverside in Huntingdon) of fresh leaves and buds.

The final image is made up of 82 layers blending together my own photographs with a licensed stock model image, textures, colours and brush work resulting in a a soft vibrant piece of artwork which is not only beautiful but has a deep underlying story to tell, which is different for each person that stares into the mesmerising eyes of Cherry.

As with Cherry 2, 3 and 4 this one is now sat on my studio bench being prepared for hand embellishments. All 5 images will shortly be finished and framed ready to hang on your wall. Check back here regularly for updates, in the meantime thanks for visiting and looking at my artwork.
