Unexpected

I've had this thought at the back of my mind for ages that I was going to purchase some peonies and do this massive scale photoshoot where I'd have more photos than I knew what to do with. Anyone who has bought them knows they're pricey so I finally went in and ordered some. 
Well, they weren't exactly what I had predicted (even though they're what I asked for). It was that they were all in full bloom. All of them. Not one was smaller, they were all the same size and colour. I was frazzled. 
I went ahead and took photos, stressed and came up with more ideas and compositions and every day, I hated them all. Finally three days in I managed to get some shots.


Needless to say, I managed to get one good photo at least and here is the result. I figured that I managed at least ten decent compositions but was so stressed that I'm going to be putting them away for a little while. They'll pop up here and there.

I really liked playing with the glass even if it was finicky.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened.  Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy   Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway.  Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger -  Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants
