Purple Abundance In August
Purple Abundance In August
Do you remember a joyful moment of holding an armful of fresh beautiful produce and anticipating the delicious food you will cook with it? This photograph expresses that pure contentment and anticipation, showing how tending a garden feeds both body and spirit.
A woman in a cheerful purple and yellow floral dress beams with pride as she cradles an overflowing harvest. Deep purple broccoli crowns the basket and the green broccoli leaves dominate the arrangement, their ruffled edges catching the light. Delicate purple and blue borage and yellow dill flowers from her garden weave through the vegetables, celebrating the beauty of edible plants. Her smile tells the whole story. Behind her, the urban garden thrives in bright August sunshine, with purple anise hyssop blooms and yellow flowering ground cherries visible against a blue sky. The inclusion of the chain link fence, neighbor's home, and small airplane in soft focus reminds you that given love and care, nature can thrive even in a small urban garden. You can almost feel the warmth of the sun and the satisfying weight of fresh vegetables in your arms.
This signed and numbered archival print brings the joy of harvest abundance into your home. Picture it in your kitchen, reminding you of the pleasure that comes from growing and cooking freshly harvested fruits, vegetables and herbs. Imagine it in your dining room or entryway, where it greets you with its life-affirming spirit and starts conversations about urban farming and seasonal eating.
“I was inspired by the beauty of an abundance of purple cauliflower and purple flowered borage in my garden. I selected yellow as a complementary color to purple. Complementary colors when placed near each other in artwork have the optical effect of increased color saturation. I incorporated yellow dill flowers and this pretty vintage lavender dress with white polka dots and yellow flowers. The yellow, green, and blue are all analogous colors and I used them to create harmony in the artwork. ”
