Spring is beautiful, haunting and ironic

 This digital collage series contrasts seasonal changes from the bare trees of winter to the blossoms of spring, as a metaphor for life’s struggles and surprises; joys and set-backs. In addition to utilizing my scanned painting, I varied the opacity and color of the photography in order to integrate the image.

Cloud Canvas, H.12"x W.18" copyright Betty Butler 2012

Whether it is the spiraling design of a seashell, the speckles within a flower or the magnificent arrangement of clouds on their way, I am always attracted to the unifying patterns of nature. Cloud Canvas is a digital collage that captures the brush gestures of abstract paint and cloud photography, integrating them for color and harmony. http://www.bettybutler.net
