Andrew Williams - Says it with flowers
In researching this article I visited the website of the Society of Botanical Artists and found the following quotation featured on the home page. “The art of botanical painting continues even in the face of enhanced photographic technology and the digital revolution, for there is simply no substitute for the discerning talents of the artist capturing the essence of plant form.

Photo Quote: The meaning of quality in photography's best pictures lies written in the language of vision. That language is learned by chance, not system. - Walker Evans
