The story behind the photograph
Early morning sunrise from the south end of Boulder, Colorado where I lived for a few years... catching morning glory light is always a joy, and this morning was no exception.”

A single chicory stem stands at the left of the frame, one blue ray flower open and the remaining buds still closed and held tight against the stalk. Behind it the sky bands from a low white core of light through orange and yellow into slate-grey cloud, with the ground reduced to an unbroken dark line. The flower is lit only from behind, so its petals read as translucent colour against the burning band of the horizon.
The photograph that inspired this piece
It begins with an original photograph by Tom Bartel of a real place. This version was developed from that photograph in our studio, using digital and AI tools guided by the original’s own composition, with no words set on it. How these are made.
