The Hellebore is in competition with the Anemone as my favorite flower. It is a marvel to see this flower bloom in the last weeks of January, valiant and graceful in the wintry landscape. When I am feeling the burdens of the world I put one flower in my old tarnished green frog in a bowl of water, and instantly I am cheered. This print is part of a series called "Sweet Old World" which honors the beauty of vintage antiques, lost objects, and the beauties of the garden. In a modern world filled with the stress of perpetual newness I look in this series for relief from the present day. Nostalgia? Wistfulness? Why not? Who wouldn't want to hang on to beauty? I adore the patinas of age and weather, and the ethos of what the Japanese call "wabi sabi." In these pieces I combine my own watercolor painting with original photography, and print as seamless images that feel like relics from another age. The inspiration is the tintypes of the last century, with their accidental scratches and markings and watery pools of dark and light.
