My Vision of Hope ... by Esther Huser

I am interested in creating my own world as I imagine it. I want to paint realistically, but I have to invent my own subject. I am looking for a perfect image of nature that would satisfy me.

From hundreds of photos I've taken over the years, I put together my flower painting in the computer and created my canvas with 1300 virtual layers of flowers and insects. The next step is to adjust the lighting and environmental conditions for each flower and insect. In a final step, I paint them all in oil.
