One in a Crowd (8 x 10 pastel)
I didn't pick flowers - they picked me. I was innocently working away on a landscape and this is what appeared on my easel; this along with a few of its friends. I have to wonder if it's because this is the first year I actually planted flowers (my own self). Strange. It came with this little poem, too...
there is one in a crowd and
You are it.
my day would not
be as bright
without the presence of you.
The color here is wonderful and the lost and found edges really draw me in...very lovely
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Mary. The colors are much bolder than I generally use but were certainly fun!
