Empower The Flower - Surrealistic Mountain Art

Acrylic on 24"x36"x.75" canvas Artist Statement: "This piece of the Reverie collection was inspired by my invigoration with surrealism and the mountains. The intricacy in the color combinations within each stroke captures the essence of all of the colors in nature and how they combine to create something new and beautiful each and everyday. The array of colors also represents the changing of Earth's flowers. Flowers are having to darken their pigment, in order to survive the rising temperatures and declining ozone."   Petal Pigment Information: "As the world’s climate changes, plants and animals have adapted by expanding into new territory and even shifting their breeding seasons. Now, research suggests that over the past 75 years, flowers have also adapted to rising temperatures and declining ozone by altering ultraviolet (UV) pigments in their petals. Flowers’ UV pigments are invisible to the human eye, but they attract pollinators and serve as a kind of sunscreen for plants, says Ma
