Flowers and more

Hi Everybody!

For Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristin, I am sharing an 18 x 24"
paint pouring canvas made a couple of months back. I was
intending to alter the red flower on the left, as I wasn't
happy with it, but haven't got round to doing it yet.
Perhaps I will alter it one of these days, who knows? I added some
micro-beads to the centres of the flowers:











The moon was surrounded by an icy halo yesterday evening:




 Pastel colours to start the day:






And a visit from Mr Heron:







Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  4. Your paint poured flowers are stunning. I like that the canvas background is black because it allows the flowers to pop. This is simply stunning.

    I also enjoyed the various moon shots and the heron that looked like he was freezing in that water!

    1. The heron always looks bad tempered, perhaps he has got cold feet....

  14. I think Mr Heron should be renamed to Mr Poser, he is enjoying his photo taken. Beautiful shots of the sky, beauties of nature and the most glorious painting ever. I so love this and I wouldn't alter it in any way. The micro beads add even more beauty. hugs.xx

    1. Mr Heron is a poser, he can stand for ages on one leg, and always looks grumpy, like some runway models!

  15. Those flowers are outstanding. The colors really pop off the black background. Wow. Your heron photos are amazing too. Does he walk over towards your does your camera have a good zoom? Those morning pastel colors are so pretty. One thing about these short days is you get such colors and get to see the sunrise. hugs-Erika

  20. I don't know why you would want to alter the red flower. All the flowers are beautiful. I love the additional dimension of the bead centers.

    An old wives tale is that a halo around the moon means snow. Too early for that. Love your photos especially the close-ups of the blue heron.

  23. Your pouring control is amazing, and I really like the bead addition. I say go for glitter! Isn't it amazing the colors the universe gives to us each day in the sky above and the wonderful creatures on our earth! Have a good week.

  26. Wow - I think your paint-poured flowers look amazing. It's something I've never tried, though I got very addicted to the youtube videos of paint-pouring a while back. Your moon photos are beautiful - your skies are always magical - and the heron posed beautifully for you, didn't he?!
