I was recently telling someone about my plan to paint flowers at night and how I never collected enough images to really start the paintings. The person mentioned it should only be white flowers, though I don’t remember why now. So, yesterday when I was out and about I stopped by a florist and bought this Calla Lily and shot it in front of some black plexiglass. Under natural light is not what I want, but it should be easy to bring it down to something I want—the yellow-orange of a monochrome street.
