CAN YOU DIG IT?
by Susannah Hart-Thomer

My thoughts evolved from the idea of beginnings; nature's splendor sprouting from a tiny seed. But then I had to resolve the problem of portraying that concept that would be interesting. So the final theme of seed packets became the design, incorporating lots and lots of bright colors, the use of multiple shapes and sizes of a variety of flowers, and a subject associated with a watering can (you've got to have water to make seeds grow!) I employed a trompe l'oeil collage appearance to make "Can You Dig It?" an interesting design for me to paint and hopefully a finished art display for viewers to enjoy.
