Prompt: create a work of art based on one of the flowers you see in John Grant’s work (or a flower or plant you find in your own back yard).

John Grant’s 2018/2019 exhibition of botanical work at Second Street Gallery, Attraction, is a great source of inspiration! Unlike traditional photography, which demands the artist shoot film to be brought back into the darkroom and developed into an image, Grant goes out into the world and takes his subject home with him. Collecting blossoms from his personal spring gardens and across Central Virginia’s naturally bountiful landscape, Grant returns to the studio to scan the botanical material at a high resolution.
