Museum Greeter

[Steven Dillon]

Museum Greeter is a composition from the Aiken County Historical Museum in Aiken, SC.

From my blog The Artist's Story:
"The Aiken County Historical Museum is another local spot where I can find macro subjects now and then. The daisy in Museum Greeter was on their front porch in a large pot with other flowers that had complementary colors. The folks that work there were likely using the display to add some color and beauty to their entryway, and, in this case, I’d say they were successful because it was the first thing that I saw and immediately got my attention. The focal point of the piece feels like a big, shining sun and gives the impression that it is radiating warmth and happiness vibes. The high level of detail allows individual hairs and surface texture on the petals to be seen."
