Description
Water Lilies of Vietnam
Besides creating a regal dining spot for this resident smokejumper (frog), the amazing water lily has many purposes. The beautiful blossom is Vietnam's national flower; but for the locals, a perfect lily flower is one that is also edible. As an integral ingredient in the Vietnamese cuisine the entire flower from root to blossom accompanies many traditional recipes - from steamboat soup, sweet and sour recipes, vegetable and pork entrees, to delectable pastry desserts, the incredible water lily nourishes soul and palate.
Information about the artist, this image, and its creation: I am an old school painter with several years of traditional experience. In recent years, I (and many other artists), have developed their talent by using software to create digital art that is unique. The picture that is presented here, never existed in real life as a photograph captured by the lens of a camera. This image started with a composite of photos and digitally hand-painted images that were first layered in Photoshop. The final outcome is a unique image entirely. If you enlarge the image sufficiently, you will observe brush stokes and colors that were not produced by any camera or by a paint brush. These strokes are painted by hand through the use of digital software. I love and respect the art of photography and traditional art forms. However, the creation of this image exists beyond what the camera photographs. This is an alternative dimension of visual art that falls outside photography and outside the scope of oils, charcoal, pastels, acrylics, or watercolor. I hope that this vital and distinct form of art will continue to gain wider acceptance and respect among art enthusiasts and fellow artists . ~ Spadecaller
