Dear Everyone:

Looked at my photoreference

of a yellow day-lily shot from

a side angle.

Didn't want to paint an exact

replica but just an impression.

Was inspired by an interior

in the September issue of

Canadian House and Home

of a condo in Vancouver

decorated by Tamara Wouters

of the store Peridot for

the store owner.

The interior combined

the washed out colours

of a beach think driftwood

with glamour think a gilt

Moroccan light fixture and

avocado green embroidered

sari pillows in the

master bedroom (shown)

with a faux fur throw tossed

in for good measure.

In the folk art painting

I incorporated the yellow

of my photograph with

gold paint and touches

of green and aqua on

an ivory flower-very glam.

I hope that you enjoy

this image.

Helen.

Dear Everyone:

Daylilies remain blooming

profusely everywhere.

Took these images in bright

daylight. I usually shoot

early morning when the light

is softer and more diffuse so

these shots are a departure for me.

As a result, these images tend

to glow.

Enjoy.

Helen.
