Daisy Girl

Another piece in my "Visions" project: an ongoing exploration of fantasy; pre-Raphaelite; and Victorian classicism inspired images.

This image came about as a sort of "road not taken", when working on "Picnic at the Edge of Reality". While working on that image--I fell in love with the way a golden glow looked, over Becca...as well as the way an unusual crop drew attention to her face. "Picnic at the Edge of Reality" went a different direction in terms of color and effect--but I later revisited the original image, and used the crop and colors I wanted for Becca.

The title, "Daisy Girl" was inspired by the obvious--the daisies in her hair--but also by the fact that daisies are Becca's favorite flower--and that she IS very much like a daisy--sweet, unpretentious, and very much *herself*.
