Wow...

"I hate flowers - I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move." Georgia O'Keeffe

 

I can't believe that Georgia O'Keeffe hated flowers. She did such a good job of painting flowers. It would seem weird to me to put all that time, effort, and creativity into painting something you hate.

 

I love taking photographs of flowers. I took some recently (the last roses of summer ) and I got really excited. I asked my husband "I wonder if you can make any money photographing flowers?" Haha. I guess I'm a nerd. But look at this .....

 

 

Isn't this rose beautiful? I could stare at these pics for a long time. I love the color of the rose. Look at the shadows the petals cast, the layering,  and the texture of the flower. Magnificent.

 

Here is another lovely rose- one of the last in my yard for this season.
