DANDELIONS : new collection of photographic artworks from Visual Resource

Posted by Toni Collins | Collections | No Comments

While the Dandelion is ungraciously considered a weed within the plant world, I prefer the description, ‘a Prince in paupers clothing.’

From a photographic point of view, the common Dandelion is a worthy and generous subject.  The delicate, wispy, organic form of the Seed Head is full of repetitive patterns.  The sum of these intricate parts is mesmerising, soothing and simply beautiful.

And now… I may just let the images do the rest of the talking – they really do speak for themselves.

View the entire new Delicate Dandelions Collection – within the Abstract Gallery.

TREND ALERT

Better Homes and Gardens report on new kitchen trends within the April 2015 issue.  One of those trends – kitchen splashbacks.

There’s an increasing demand for splashbacks that stray from the more usual glass or tiles – homeowners are exploring all options.  If you are willing to express your individuality, give your kitchen personality with the latest splashbacks in the form of windows, metallic finishes, digital art on glass or mirrors as well as mod and bright-patterned tiles.  Your splashback can make a lasting impression.

Better Homes and Gardens: April 2015 Issue  

VR Art Glass by Visual Resource was amongst the featured splashback finishes.  BH&G wrote, “Set your area apart with an eye catching splashback where photographic art is fused onto toughened glass.  Choose from city skylines, landmarks, abstract designs and naturescapes.”

Bali Dreaming : Holiday Musings 2015

Posted by Toni Collins | Travel | No Comments

The year is moving along at a rapid pace… March already, phew!  If I cast my mind back to what seems like a year ago (well.. not quite), I recall our hot Summer break in Bali.

I will leave the promotion of sights, great food and fine people to the travel guides.  Instead, our promotion of Bali will simply be to share some of the imagery Michael found captivating during our stay.  We hope you enjoy the sights!
