Tuberous Begonia:

This is a digital painting done from my own reference photo "Begonia Shadows." I chose to paint it for three reasons - one, the delicate, translucent petals with their sweeping curves were a real challenge, two, I could deepen the color to accent the shadows (which helped me make a point in my blog Seasons of Song and Spirit), and third, I could not "sharpen" the photograph without creating digital noise and ruining the entire piece.

In actuality, in the garden this begonia looks pure white, and I did not alter the color of the picture at all. When I increased the saturation a little, the lavender/purple color surprised me completely. The light, however, was there from the start!
