  9. Sometimes I think the old, past-their-prime, dare I say "dead" flowers and weeds are among the most beautiful. These certainly qualify -- and I love your painting!

  12. it is truly amazing Tammie, so many forms and patterns, it is all there.

    the balancing pose; oh, the breeze in her sjawl and hair, her skirt, that's really bringing it alive, beautiful composition too, x

  13. Oh my, I'm speechless, very impressing! It is so vibrant and it makes me happy!
    I love how you've painted the log! It's just as I can see it in real life, you know, out there in the woods :)

  14. What a great drawing, the wind is blowing and the log could roll, and we can see her keeping her balance.
    Everything in this painting is perfectly made. I like her unusual blouse too.

  15. thank you every one for your lovely and supportive messages. your messages mean so much to me.

    as for the flower stems, they are from knapweed that bees make wonderful honey from. it is also considered a noxious week, not native and bad for cows to eat. It also spreads easily and if pulled up, should be done so with gloves. I love weeds. I love eating them. but this one is good to not let go rampant. Still i have to admire it's ability to survive and it's beauty. I have never noticed what i can see in this macro photo of it.

  16. love this painting and how it reminds me of the feelings I have when I am out in the woods. The macro photo is amazing. Love how nature has beauty no matter what season or whether in renewal or letting go. And thanks for the explanation of what kind of plant it is. There are non-native invasive plants where I live with beautiful yellow blooms that the island cannot get rid of. they are hardy plants as well.
