Celestial Sunflowers prose by Carol Cavalaris ©
Credits: The first in my new collection called 'Celestial Gardens', featuring the magnificent sunflower growing in a galaxy of stars. I've always thought within every flower there is a universe of beauty that is mysterious, majestic, and infinite and so I have created this collection, inspired by and combining flowers with Nasa space images. Created in Photoshop using sunflower photo references, Nasa space photo, and painting techniques.
Hope you enjoy. :o)

Beautiful creation, i love choice of color !
For my purposes, the NASA images have been sitting around waiting for you to use them for this series, like it was just a matter of time before you did. I loved this image when it went up, I saw it a few other times, and I think it kicks off this series with a bang. (The 'big bang', maybe.) The cetner-petals are tensile rushes of fire-tongues and silk, they sit in a bed of not just stamens but of oozing fiery plasma---I mean the stuff inside deep nuclear reactions in the sun and stars---and the petals around them are a mix of new and old flame-like protrusions; the ones on the lower right are like very delicate crepe paper or brittle silk: Your textures here are beautiful, Carol! The 'ground' that I so like to speak of in your work (inner ground, energy ground, not actual soil, obviously) is a soup of oranges and greens, deep and lapping over each other; whose lights indicate that they, like magma, are still glowing with heat. In spots you have smudging, almost, like you took a brush and ran it through the hues, which is what supernovas and other galactic bodies look like. It all meets a blueish right side, where the sunflowers seem to succumb to the blues and blue-greens of the cosmos. And up there, the greens and blues are nearly fairy-tale like, in magic, enchantment and a childlike sense of transcendence. You've rushed whites into the sky, and the sky never really gets 'deep blue'---as we might expect in a shot from space---but, rather, stays a beautiful light blue and blue-green. It's a balance to all those heavy tones below. It's not very big in zoom, but it feels vast. (Your detail in the blue-green stamen section is very complex, all by itself: I assume the full size piece engulfs one.) This group of sunflowers splash and spread like cosmic cream; and the petals have never had it so fiery. What summations here? Explosion-bound, opulent, heaving. A big blasting piece---even Van Gogh, with his famous pulsing sunflowers, would stop and gape at this energy. I love these. (As I approach 2 hours---I'm 10 minutes short of it now---one of the reasons I can't go much more than 2 hours at a time is not that I can't VIEW these pieces longer than that: It's that, after 2 hours, my words start to drain away. That's the only reason. I'll do one more celestial image and then I'll have to stop for today. But know that I could do more if the words still came.) (And btw, I'm not commenting on the Jim Morrison image because I wrote about it personally at such length. I could say more about it, in fact, but I don't want to neglect the images I've said little about, to now...)
Excellent
