Valentines' Day, YES. Red hearts, NO! SPoA offers you
GARNET WORKS
by
Robert Marchand
Feast your eyes on these beauties. Spectacular photos by Montreal area ( Longueuil, Quebec ) photographer Robert Marchand, sets off a fire of prism delight in a spectrum of red hues that any seasoned painter would be in awe of. The colour GARNET is rich in beauty and as any artist will testify, one of the most difficult shades to duplicate on canvas, but Marchand has captured the true essence of this shade in his GARNET WORKS!
When we think of the word garnet, we think deep RED, even though the garnet species are found in many colors including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, pink and colorless...and the rarest of these, a blue garnet. But most of us associate GARNET with the rich blood-colour that warms our senses conjuring up exotic thoughts of far off places. Garnet as colour or garnet as gem, both exquisite!

SPoA loves the surreal effect of the photo above. The contrast of the clarity of green tinged almonds and the prism reflection depicting paint- like feathery brushstrokes. Beautiful!
