With Midwestern resources at her disposal, artist Mary Block explores the beauty surrounding her. Here, Block uses a Red Bud tree which is about to burst into a vibrant showy pink. To enhance the tree's natural beauty, the artist painstakingly adjusts each pixel to achieve a depth, brightness and clarity not found in nature alone. This piece is framed in a simple black frame measuring 32 x 47 x 1.75 inches.
