Composed at the Hopeland Gardens in Aiken, SC.
From my blog The Artist's Story:
"I composed my Orange Splash piece to give the impression that the orange was flying up and out of the yellow. As if the stamen and stigma had been thrust down in a way that forced the orange to shoot away from them and spray up into the air. The soft, round edges of the orange cup have an almost liquid or viscous feel. Since a high level of detail was captured, the surface texture on both the stigma and anthers can be seen along with contours on the corona’s rim."
