Description
This photograph was taken in 2020 when California was ablaze with unprecedented wildfires and effected us in the northeast in terms of hazy sun more reminiscent of an eclipse than the usual fall sunlight we are used to. However, this was also taken in the afternoon, when the sun is at a pleasant angle.
I took many photographs of the milkweed plants, but liked the composition of this one the most. The milkweeds standing straight up and the weeds and stalks in the back falling over, which give some diagonals to the composition.
My paintings and drawings are very detailed and I like how wildflowers and weeds fall all over each other in general, so I am naturally attracted to meadows.
The grass in this piece is also wild grass. It tends to have a heather kind of look to it, often with silvers and tans, but also light green.
