Jan 23 2021 - Making a Splash

Brian Cole sent me information about a duo of artists who take photos of huge splashes of colourant in landscape settings.  They are by Cassandra Warner and Jeremy Floto - Floto+Warner. The duo states: “There is no photoshop used in these images, we shoot these with a high-speed shutter to freeze the action. We are also conscious of the environment, the color is non-toxic, non-staining, water based and composed of 95% water.” The description is HERE.  Isn't this one a fantastic image on the landscape? The artists' website is HERE.  They are commercial photographers with their studio in NYC.  There are lots of Architectural Digest shoots.  They make the interiors seem dreamily perfect.   Check through the Splash series in the first link.   Isn't this an amazing tree - a weeping willow with leaves still on in December.  This makes a nice contrast with the snow on the branches. It is much curlier looking than the weeping willow at Charles Daley Park, so it looks like a large curly willow. There's a very large one behind the Stoney Ridge Winery, but it has never had yellow leaves in the autumn for nice pictures.  How curious to see this one in comparison.   Purchase at: FAA - marilyncornwellart.com Redbubble - marilyncornwellart.ca

 

Stoneyridge Winery - A Garden to See

Stoneyridge Winery is in Vineland Ontario in the Niagara Peninsula. It has a wonderful garden with a Seven Sons Flower Tree Grove, and one of the largest curly willows in Niagara.  I was there in mid-October and found the garden as pretty as in the summer.  Here are a few images.
