Guess which description belongs to which arrangement?
Hammock
Sherri Bellassen
“In life and art I try to stay true to myself and listen to my own voice.” Sherri Belassen. Sherri is known to use shapes and colors in a contemporary manner to create her unique artwork. We find this to be true as we present to you our own interpretation with flowers. We chose a vibrant turquoise container to portray the tranquil ocean feeling. The delicate blood orange Dendrobium orchids were used to reflect the sensual, lacy hammock. Lying gently over the soft orchids, as if floating over the sea are the red, ginger Alpinai Pur Purata. Against the back drop of the sky, the cloud like Hydrangeas billow up to the heavens, as the lone Heliconia calmly drapes over the hammock edge.
Untitled V
Alicia Lachance
Alicia Lachance’s Untitled V echoes qualities of the abstract modernism movement of the mid-late 20th century. Wendy and I specifically loved the challenge of the bold use of color used in this geometric and balanced composition. Fiery red, muted green and blue tones and a splash of sunny yellow compelled us to find flowers complimenting those colors that inspired the artist. Also, the artist’s choice to paint on a panel, prompted us to build a wooden foundation that we could soften with organic materials. To the eye, the painting has a glossy lustre which we captured using embellished wooden accents and glass beads to ground the arrangement.
We hope you enjoy this multi-dimensional experience as much as we have.
Winter Woods
Craig Mooney
We chose to focus on the hues within the painting and give a direct color representation of Craig Mooney’s Winter Woods. While this landscape represents the dead of winter, we chose to focus on the warmth and radiant colors Mooney chose that brings life to the work. We color blocked and highlighted the geometric structure of the painting. Goldenrod yellow chrysanthemums represent the warmth of the sun and faded periwinkle blue hydrangea evoke the shadows of the snow-covered wood. Willow and blossom stems help structure the arrangement and are a direct representation of the stark bare winter trees.
We hope our arrangement helps the viewer see past the cold long months of winter and hints at what is lying dormant just under the surface-Life and the hope of an early spring.
El Dorado and Perfect Young Summer #2
Johnny Taylor
The vibrant colors of Johnny Talyor's iconic images fueled the artistic direction of our arrangements. Strong shapes set against a backdrop of color blocks were softened with slightly textured floral selections and an inversion of color dominance, resulting in a balance of imagery across two very different mediums.
Lotus Flower
Paul Brigham
Our team was really excited and inspired by this breathtaking, mixed media painting by Paul Brigham titled "Lotus Flower". At first glance from afar, one sees a lotus flower against a back drop of green and blue, with pencil like etchings of swirling vines, leaves, and subtle pops of warm yellows, brown and blue thoughtfully placed throughout the canvas. Beneath the lotus flower is a beautiful, wide swatch of blue with varying tones. We immensely enjoyed the two small birds playfully perched on the branches below the lotus flower.
We arranged a cluster of Calla Lilies in the center to represent the Lotus flower. We surrounded the Lilies with lush variegated leaves and carefully placed curly bamboo to capture the fluid swirly feel of the vines. Yellow hyacinth was added to capture the depth and texture of the piece along with orange spray roses to provide the unexpected pops of color and warmth which Paul Brigham does so well in his painting. For the vessel, we chose a blue vase with swirls, the texture of which we thought soulfully captured a feeling of water. We added a small bird sculpture, the scale of which we were delighted with, to complete our interpretation.
