An original design of abraded carnation and rose petal bits was digitally enhanced. It resulted in the lime green change and pop to yellow and mauve against the pink background.

Description
“This piece is part of a series I created with a process I like to call flower abrasion. Each piece begins with bits of leaves and flowers collected from my garden. I then arrange the plants on paper and pound them with a hammer to release their pigments. Sometimes a blob of color bleeds from the plant, other times the color is spit outward. Each time the result is unique and unpredictable. I use the pattern of pigments left behind by the plants as inspiration for my design which is drawn, painted, and colored on top.” -Artist, Kathie Gallion
