"gorgeous book!" according to angela. gorgeous macro (and non-macro) photography, compositions, variety of flowers more photos than text. it was just what I was looking for for artist inspiration and an add to my reference library.. DLeva said quite beautiful, but somewhat abstract. photos in this book may have limited appeal for an artist looking for subjects, unless they are looking for something abstract.The photos usually (maybe 80 out of 100) show just the petals, with no stems, leaves or groups of flowers. And, they tend to be shown as a close-up of the face of the flower, without poses at different angles or lighting.

Although, maybe 20 or so flowers (usually a long flower or flower clusters on a stalk) are presented more in the full, or as clusters.Of course, if you really want to find a photo of your liking to paint, your own camera may be your best bet. 0 or so flowers (usually a long flower or flower clusters on a stalk) are presented more in the full, or as clusters.Of course, if you really want to find a photo of your liking to paint, your own camera may be your best bet. Gorgeous! I bought this book in 2001; we've moved 5 times since then, 3 different states. I've culled books over and over but this one always makes the cut- I just can't bear to part with such a gorgeous work of art that is this collection. I've had 2 kids since purchasing this and they also enjoy pulling this off the shelf and thumbing through the pages once in a while.
