"Pray ye love remember. And there is pansies, that's for thoughts" (--Shakespeare)



"I pray, what flowers are these?
The pansy this
O, that's for lover's thoughts."

 
(Geo. Chapman, "All Fools")
 

(I could not get a decent scan of this image to save my life.  It has some saturated color areas and some light hues, and my scanner just isn't sensitive enough to compensate for that, so it's a photo, but even with adjusting the white balance, it's not very good.)

This is lovely. Did you take the photo ourside in natural light.. not direct light but natual light. That yupo paper must be very shiny. But its lovely none the less.

YUP, I did, Cris: right outside in bright sunlight. I think my camera's also just not very good at photos of artwork. Such is life.

I'm sure it's much lovelier in person anyway, they all are. Thats one reason it's so fun when someone buys my work on line and then when they get it, they are even more amazed, because of all the real life color of it. Your work is always great,
peace n abundance,
