This is the series that I am currently working on, since the fall of 2010.  It is based on these tiny little flowers that you can only find in a bog called Mer bleue which is found just East of Ottawa.  I find them completely captivating!  Their petals are unlike any other I’ve seen before in that they are sinewy.  The colour of these flowers range from a pale citrus green all the way to a deep plummy maroon.  Due to the lack of nutrients in the acidic soil, these flowers have been growing ever so slowly over the past millennia!  They grow in clumps to form the moss bed of this carefully preserved piece of land.  I hope you enjoy my interpretation of these tiny beauties!
