Bird of Paradise

Focused on the 3 primary colors and green background.  Like the change of lines of foreground versus background.

Great colors!!

Good idea for me to do the trip with Jim, then take many workshops!! (Or just take the trip with Jim and put off the workshops!)

Since I liked spinning, but already have enough trouble fitting it in, I'm not pursuing it at the moment. I wonder if I inevitably will. I'm trying to learn from your excellent ability to pace yourself and pursue only what matters most to you.

Have a great weekend!

These are the real colors for the Bird of Paradise. The green is their foilage - I liken it to irises or flax. I did help the "drama" with a deepening the shadows and pulling out the highlights. You can check out more at:
