Composed at Hopeland Gardens in Aiken, SC.
From my blog The Artist's Story:
"I was exploring Hopeland Gardens one spring afternoon when I discovered a collection of bright, colorful buds sticking out of some trees. Not having seen anything quite like them before, I was immediately intrigued. I composed Blooming Bark so that the buds were the focal point while holding enough background to show that they were literally popping out of the tree. There were clusters in various sizes and numbers (just like this) all over several nearby trees. Nature never ceases to amaze me."
