Azaleas in Bloom [3011] | Stretched Canvas

The Narrative

A celebratory study of seasonal life and the rhythmic arrival of the Pacific Northwest spring. Captured on the Oregon State University campus in Corvallis, Azaleas in Bloom documents the peak of the flowering season. The 3:2 composition focuses on dense clusters of vibrant pink azaleas set against the intricate, textured bark of a resilient, mature tree.

The work explores the delicate interplay between the radiating floral forms and the structural weight of the garden’s canopy. It is an observation of natural equilibrium, designed to bring the simplicity and harmony of a blooming landscape into any interior space, offering a moment of quiet, enduring beauty.

The Build (Stretched Canvas)

• Archive Quality: Printed with non-toxic, low-VOC archival latex inks. The Canon 40D’s organic colour science is preserved with high fidelity, ensuring the subtle shifts in the pink floral gradients remain stable and vibrant.
• Surface: Matte cotton-poly composite canvas featuring a specialised JONDO coating for a glare-free, gallery-grade finish.
• Structure: Hand-stretched over a 1.25" (3.175cm) frame of FSC-certified radiata pine sourced from renewable forests.
• Installation: Includes built-in hardware and soft rubber dots on the lower corners to protect your wall surface and ensure a level, stable display.

The Artist’s Touch

The artist’s mark "MDJ" is rendered in a subtle pink hue, sampled directly from the azalea blossoms and integrated into the lower-right corner. Each canvas is finished with a custom-designed Deep Moss (#373E1C) edge wrap, sampled from the shaded tones of the inner garden foliage. This deliberate colour choice provides a sophisticated, natural border that grounds the vibrant floral tones, allowing the Oregon landscape to project forward with a professional gallery finish.
