Gardenias (Gardenia jasminoides) are tropical broadleaf evergreens native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, Madagascar and Pacific Islands, and Australia. Few natural scents are as remarkable, evocative, and memorable as the spectacular white gardenia flower. In this still life, Spadecaller merges the ageless qualities of the gardenia with the plum. “Gardenia and Plums” is a hand-painted digital image and photo composite completed in Spadecaller’s Florida Studio on 2/11/2022.
