Floral Fridays...Flowers as art


Flowers as art.  There is nothing that inspires me more than nature! So when I heard what the theme was this month for Floral Fridays, I was excited to pull out my paints.  One in the works....


Spring Hellebores 




Have a rocking weekend everyone!!!!


Floral Friday is a monthly photography project with different themes each month. This series is about fun and taking time out to smell the flowers. To play along next time, please email Trishie at Under Lock and Key for next month's theme.

    Pretty - I like that you choose a black background too - makes me think I should have painted something for this week's challenge!

    Nicole - this painting is so beautiful! It makes me smile with its lovely, soft colors! You have truly captured the beauty of the hellebore. They look just like the ones I recently planted. Your painting would look lovely anywhere - I hope you show us where you display it! Hugs to you and a happy weekend, Dear Friend! xo Karen

    OMG. You painted that?! That's really truly awesome!!

    How big is it? I think giant, over-sized paintings are seriously underrated, but then I have a few ;)

    Very pretty Nicole. I don't know how you find the time to accomplish all that you get done and still play with your beans. You are a super Mom and now we find out an artist too. Great job! Where are you going to hang it?
