Dear Everyone:

Roses fade

As the final month of summer approaches

Lilac Rose 2009

Still looking at taupe and lilac/lavender.

Pictured an image of a stylized, flat rose
with matt lilac and lavender on a taupe

background.

Used my own photos for the

sketches.

Quite like the results. Might

work on it again tomorrow.

Have a repeat-it-'til-you

-get-it-right kind of day.

Helen.

Potpourri

Feel like playing with flowers and fabrics

inside this weekend.

Might go to the grocery store and buy a bouqet

to work with. I'm thinking purple flowers and black

tafetta fabric as a backdrop.

In the mean-time I paired my dried rose petals

on hand with a gold taffeta.

Hope that you might enjoy these images.

Have a do-what-you-need-to-when-you

need-to kind of day.

Helen.

Studio Rose Painting

I decided to shoot inside yesterday.

I went to the grocery store and chose some

interesting roses. Ivory with tinges of red and green

and tan.

Here is 1 image and the folk art painting I made of it.

Have a coming-up-roses day today.

Helen.
