Description
I joined the 365-day Journal challenge for 2022 and here is my ‘Day 141.
May 21, 2022, Journal Entry:
This is a group of Calla Lilies growing very closely together and upright within their large leaves. I did some experimenting this morning in my editing program and turned this portrait into a part painterly-part sketch image in pink and purple tones with a vintage flair.
Calla lily flowers (Zantedeschia sp.) come in many colors with white being the classic color, especially for use in bridal bouquets. They are not really a lily per se, as they are more related to Caladium plants. They are native to South Africa and can be grown in the ground or in planter containers. They are considered easy to grow and they symbolize rebirth and Christ’s resurrection, often used at Easter time or at funerals. The word ‘Calla’ is Greek for beauty, so they are often inserted in wedding bouquets to represent devotion.
