Seasoned artists from the <a href="http://lynnfield.patch.com/topics/lynnfield+art+guild">Lynnfield Art Guild</a> along with talented students from the Lynnfield Middle and High Schools were asked to submit their works of art to be interpreted with flowers. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHpxW5tocnr5eQGdLC5auB1rgTAIO9IBGEhQJHiaMep9Vd7bBwvGyqSQbBYwDgWvKWtq5mpSkwszxAFS4JueoTVCEOS9mPrScC0HNWKxBT4kz5a9-9smH-vpBh5E9RFAOWVsTvnlKf18Q3/s1600/SoaringColors_AlisonCouncil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHpxW5tocnr5eQGdLC5auB1rgTAIO9IBGEhQJHiaMep9Vd7bBwvGyqSQbBYwDgWvKWtq5mpSkwszxAFS4JueoTVCEOS9mPrScC0HNWKxBT4kz5a9-9smH-vpBh5E9RFAOWVsTvnlKf18Q3/s800/SoaringColors_AlisonCouncil.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">“Soaring Colors” by Alison Council</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I fell in love with this collage by Lynnfield High School student, Alison Council. First, the typography combined with hand written words of inspiration really appealed to me. Second, the bird image is made up of little bits of ripped magazine pages. You know how much I love magazines! The composition of the piece impressed me and I admire its confident message.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjvMGWERFhCUGhKZ5jhSmJPSj5kf-iCWZS9ndbGM3l83PdI2p_Qh-9h_MJYxYpOBrRMyuYj267obTNCOyzg1AwNvHvdnIsyzmqMYzPOkaJ6SUvER5K2dPgVFiUE28eXGotRQ5JELlAr1aZ/s1600/yvonne_alison_artinbloom12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjvMGWERFhCUGhKZ5jhSmJPSj5kf-iCWZS9ndbGM3l83PdI2p_Qh-9h_MJYxYpOBrRMyuYj267obTNCOyzg1AwNvHvdnIsyzmqMYzPOkaJ6SUvER5K2dPgVFiUE28eXGotRQ5JELlAr1aZ/s800/yvonne_alison_artinbloom12.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">Arrangement by Yvonne Blacker</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">“Soaring Colors” by Alison Council</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For my arrangement, I chose mini carnations which look like crinkled pieces of paper. I found these really neat floral accessories that looked very Dr. Suess-like (the tall curled brown branches remind me of Alison’s poetic script, bright pink orbs repeat the pink of the bird, and the fragile white pods resemble eggs). I supported the flowers with a nest of feathers tucked into the tall, vintage silver vase. In order to incorporate some blue into my interpretation, I twisted a pale blue silk ribbon around the vase as one might wrap a hand-held bouquet. This arrangement was all about the container, the scale, and finding inspiration in whimsy. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigfrxMrkABvxqSCKZb5IovIC49BYpf2P0fZmBqKmlBplEuSPTcu4u975aJz09iJd_EsGsqyM6fv_X25AxV-LgYYpTbBBAKWnI_MBwfer1s8l3t0njzHPVgV2Vc5Ra4UTwbW-AcTeiDQ-Hd/s1600/yvonne_soaring_alison_artinbloom12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigfrxMrkABvxqSCKZb5IovIC49BYpf2P0fZmBqKmlBplEuSPTcu4u975aJz09iJd_EsGsqyM6fv_X25AxV-LgYYpTbBBAKWnI_MBwfer1s8l3t0njzHPVgV2Vc5Ra4UTwbW-AcTeiDQ-Hd/s800/yvonne_soaring_alison_artinbloom12.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was such a pleasure to meet the artist, Alison, on opening night. Her parents were also there, and I could tell they are very proud of her! The audience was quite lively being composed of students, their families, and those of us who have been at this Art in Bloom thing for awhile : ) I think it was one of my favorite shows because it really captured the spirit of community. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The artist, Pauline, spoke about her work at opening night. We were surprised to discover that she is not a big fan of the water. In fact, it scares her.

The large scale branch is very asymmetrical, almost triangular, just as the student appears in the pose.<br /><br />Cheerful pink blossoms are supported by the branches, with bright <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerbera_daisy">Gerbera Daisys</a> used to signify her clothing, and the single pink rose representing the opening of the heart center – or <a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/basics/898?page=5">chakra</a> – which is achieved with continued yoga practice. Peach colored <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip">tulips</a> show increased flexibility (and are close in color to the students skin tone) and the gold vessel containing these blossoms is securely grounded on a purple yoga mat (which I intend to use more often now that the show is over!)<br /><br />The arrangement is intentionally minimalist in its design, just as yoga strips away the clutter from the mind, allowing one to connect with inner harmony and peace through meditation.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namaste"> Namaste!</a><br /></span></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXcFCnLCH5bqPlxATyVYA3ucNY3yd5c0oBeBQHDI63snRrTUEfq6j9MPsNzv06aLRvpdJIoCwkFTHfIUc9fyL3KmdrtJI7USlYugMaxeTliPtdX8LebMRZCtFcHo3WQwcrLDZbOT8K_hw/s1600-h/pinkroseleaves.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447567352543385298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXcFCnLCH5bqPlxATyVYA3ucNY3yd5c0oBeBQHDI63snRrTUEfq6j9MPsNzv06aLRvpdJIoCwkFTHfIUc9fyL3KmdrtJI7USlYugMaxeTliPtdX8LebMRZCtFcHo3WQwcrLDZbOT8K_hw/s400/pinkroseleaves.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
