Dear Everyone:

Here is a second folk art painting

of a dahlia from my own

photoreference.

I like painting from my own

photos. It is hard to improve

upon nature and it avoids

copyright issues.

Hope you enjoy this work.

Helen.

Dear Everyone:

It is a tradition to shoot

the dahlias at the Halifax Public

Gardens each fall.

This specimen had a lovely

colour scheme of pink and orange.

I used the shot as a photoreference for

a folk art painting.

I hope that you enjoy this

work.

Helen.

Shooting dahlias at the Halifax Public

Have a ready-for-the-weekend kind of day.

Helen.
