“bloom” is the culmination of the last 12 months of work, photographing flora across the seasons, and a life long love affair with flowers for Peter Norton.

The exhibition features exotic flora, some back lit by natural sunlight, creating a translucent effect with all works printed on canvas or fine art paper.

Exhibited in the artist's studio in Annandale, Sydney, the images are shown in a home environment, from the studio, lounge, stairway and up into the master bedroom and bathroom — the canvas has a water resistency which makes it ideal for display in all areas.

In addition to the flowers, there are six food images, featured in the open plan kitchen — taste.

For display on the web site, the expansive exhibition is presented in six sections, depending upon the type and feel of the image and flower:

contempo — vibrant camellias and poppies on canvas

lush — a variety of exotic flora from orchids, gloriosas and lillies on canvas

blush — pink magnolias on "blue skies", box framed on fine art paper

elegance — pure white magnolias and arum lillies on a contrasting black background, box framed on fine art paper

tropical — lotus flowers, hibiscus', banana leaf and crab claws, on canvas

taste — food images, small square in shape, on a black background on canvas
