Edition of 3 plus 2 AP's

This picture is constructed from two separate photographs taken at different sites. A pond in Powdermill Woods near Battle a natural conservation site, is combined with wild flower seeds that have been planted and now bloom on many suburban roundabouts and at the edges of roads. I thought of the painting of Ophelia by John Everett Millais, which was also painted in two different locations, and the attention to detail of the flowers and landscape being more prominent than that of the model. He also painted flowers that would not have bloomed at the same time, similar to the recent introduction of wild flower seeds to many towns and cities.
