Not what I had planned to do today …


But when you’re walking through a room and notice how lovely a dying flower — the bouquet that should have made it to the trash last night — looks, you have to grab your camera.   And then, of course, there is post processing.

Textures: one of my own (based on a blurry shot of the woods taken through the window), and French Kiss’  Purple Prose (once over entire image, removed from flower; once for the frame).

I think this looks like an iris, but it was actually a tulip, about to drop its last petals.  The backlighting gave it an eery purple hue.  Never know where inspiration will come from!

    Very pretty and dramatic picture!

  2. So lovely! You are so creative and inspiring. I think much of art in the world was not what the artist planned on doing that day but rather what caught the creative eye!

      I think you are right, Sharon, but what I had planned to do today was my taxes! :-) I did get a start on them, but not nearly as much time spent as I thought I would.

  3. That is just wonderful! You make me want to be creative again!

      Thank you, Ms. Curious. We are all creative, but we don’t always have a lot of time to create. I hope you find some space to exercise your creativity when you can.

      • I used to be so much more- work eats me alive so WordPress is it- I’ve made many homemade cards and thats what your lovely flower looked like- FRAME IT!! Or have it printed!

        Thanks for following my blog!
