Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) Throughout many areas of the southeastern United States, a flowering plant often grows on larger trees. Typically on southern live oaks like these, or on bald cypress trees. The curly strands can grow up to 25 feet in length, but are not actually attached to or dependent on the tree for nutrients. Early French explorers said it reminded them of the long gray beards of their Spaniard competitors, while native indians simply called it tree hair. The scientific name is Tillandsia Usneoides as it is a lichen that only looks like moss which did not come from Spain. But most people today still call it ... Spanish Moss.
I created this black and white image from my original color photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
