Evocative and moody floral of pink saucer magnolias by California artist Carrie Clayden (American, b. 1973), 2016. The blue green mist framed by magnolias in hues of pink has a dream-like quality. It beckons the viewer to imagine a journey beginning or a secret garden begging to be explored. Titled "Alex Sleeping", this dreamy like image is unique in its use of negative space emphasized by the framing of branches of pink magnolia blooms. The resulting composition is balanced and layered.
