The Queen of Arles Roses • Timed Edition Fine Art Print

Each of the four girls required a studio portrait session with a seasonal Provençal flower and then a local session where the flowers were in bloom. None of the flowers could repeat and each had to be created at a peak moment. I was on call everyday. “Sorry, I can’t come, the Queen is calling for the iris shot today!” It was an adventure!

Thinking about this project, I told Kevin, I feel like everything I’ve worked towards my entire life has led me to this commission. The knowledge of the flowers and seasons of Provence. The light and how it changes each season to know the good times for each of the sittings. Then there is posing. I’ve practiced with myself for so long now that I know what I’m looking for out of others. I know what moves the eye in a frame. And of course, the costumes. If I myself could live in an 18th century costume I would, and therefore, I see the world as they do and how to be presented.

To own one of these portraits carries centuries of French Provençal history, keeping alive a tradition protected by her community photographed with the flowers that were blooming in Provence that season, creating a real portrait of a place: the women, the land and the culture of the region.

And what a great story to share at a dinner party as guests come over and discover your art piece on the wall! Here’s your talking points to make you sound so elegant and cultured when speaking about La Reine d'Arles, The Queen of Arles, and her demoiselles d’honneur, ladies of honor.
