Description
Book SynopsisEnlightened Blooms is a collection to treasure for lovers of botany and photography alike, along with anyone who has ever marveled at the elegant forms of the natural world. In Oliphant''s own words, We walk down a city block fixated on our problems and our work, and all the while there's beauty passing by. With true artistic and technical mastery, Oliphant encourages a deeper appreciation of the beauty that continuously surrounds us.
Trade ReviewSometimes there are color reversals of stark white tree trunks against multi-colored Jackson Pollock-style backgrounds of the weeping cherry or Georgia O Keeffe looking roses...This stunning, artistic book would be cherished by lovers of photography and flora as it shows expressive arrangements that engage the viewer to stop, slow down, and observe God s beautiful creations that surround us every day.--Conny Crisalli "Book Pleasures, April 7, 2015 "; "The results are published in the beautiful Enlightened Blooms (Glitterati Incorporated), a book which presents a highly saturated, almost neon vision of flowers, as though seen through an acid-trip lens. Published by Glitterati whose highly original books are produced absolutely impeccably, this is definitely one for the Jean-Michel Frank coffee table... put it beside Man Ray Portraits." --Christies.com
