Has a nice early 1900s feeling, or flavor.
Pattie this does have a vintage feel to it - I love it!
At the bottom huh? Well I really like this one, and envy the possibilities as you work your way up the pile. Great colour combo.
I love this skewwiff composition, it really focuses attention on the flowers. Brilliant!
Pattie...
I'm glad I'm back!!! Your photos are GREAT and this IS a "cheer up" painting... Great colors and great "look"...
Funny... I never gave much thought to the forshortening effect on flowers but you've mastered it!!
I'll be back sooner next time!!
This is 50 kinds of gorgeous - Wow!!! Pattie, I bow down.

and Karen, never thought of the vintage feel, but it does now that I look at it..the photo had many different ways to go, but I chose this one.
