Geri deGruy's blog of art, musings, and inspiration

Sometimes I get obsessed.

For instance, I have been listening to the Vivaldi concerto in G minor for 2 cellos.  The second movement is the "Largo."  The interplay of the 2 cellos, singing together so closely their minor-keyed melody, is heartbreakingly beautiful.  Harmonies, tight against one another and then resolving.  I can't stop listening to this exquisite piece.  I tell myself, "one more time..." after each listen.  And then again.

In the early spring, I bought a bouquet of pink ranunculus.  Small delicate flowers with layer upon layer of petals, too many to count.  I kept taking photographs of them, hoping to get a grasp of this world of flower.  Finally this piece, which I call "Layers", is the result.  I want to convey the sense that there are more and more, but we can only see a smattering of the many petals.  We can only see a glimpse into this whole mystery.  There are more layers beneath.
