marriage of Titania; Salmon berry floral duet Tie

At first glance, this is just a nice picture of some flowers with an interesting textured background, framed with a bit of modern art flair; however, there is more to it than meets the eye when examined in more depth like a game of hidden pictures... Half hidden behind the five petaled purple Pacific Northwest salmon berry blossom, the face of Titania as a bride glows with love as she gazes adoringly up at the visage of Oberon. The overlapping purple, green, and golden toned rectangles symbolise both unity and discord in the couple's future as the begin with varying success to mesh and meld their lives and hearts together from separate planes of existence, as well as symbolising the various interlinked plots within Shakespeare's play, "Midsummer Night's Dream." abstract shapes and textures in the brushed gold tones of the background further call to mind characters and whet the imagination with scenes and ideas from the play, foreshadowing the events of their future life. Nick Bottom appears to sing or bray like a donkey below one petal,while the faint shapes of a donkey of horse head are formed in the upper right. On the left Helena, in a floral hat, wakes the sleeping Lysander. Another figure along the top appears to write in a book, representing the playwright at work while other shadowy figures emerge among the golden raindrops which splash a sense of magic and wonder across the dreamy scene. As the drops of water land on the blossoms the stretch forth their petals towards each other with love and yearning, reminding us of of the flowers used to make the love potion which caused so much turmoil in the lives of the characters, even though they found happiness in the end.
