Impressionistic "Oh My Gosh, That's Amazing" Florals

Red Iris

"LOOK AT ME," the iris proclaimed as it reached full bloom. The other nearby flowers whispered unkind things, but the iris knew its purpose and refused to be less than it was created to be.

Butterfly drinking purple nectar

She knew better. Even though she had just emerged from the chrysalis, her instincts told her to stay with what was known, what was safe. Nah. That wasn't who she wanted to be. Life is short. Drink from the exotic flowers, fly as high as possible, be adventurous, she thought. And so she did.

Changing Horses in the middle of a Dream

I fantasized about riding Pegasus and seeing the world from the wings of a wild stallion. Then the reality of life set in until the dreams came back, and the wild stallion once again caused my heart to stir.

Sunflower Prayer

Not only had the day passed, but the summer. Sunflowers left behind in a frozen field bow their heads in prayer. "Let us serve our purpose!" And with that, hungry birds found food instead of starvation as winter winds howled.

The Bud And The Bug

Sometimes you want romance and what you get is an image that is ethereal and guazy with a bug hanging out it the middle. Life is like that...and we are better for the imperfections.

Coneflower Sprinkles

Connect the dots. See the image. Go beyond the expected, and less with the obvious. The coneflower wanted to be different in the sea of purple brothers and sisters, and found its way.

Deco Calla

“Love is like dew that falls on both nettles and Lilies” --Swedish Proverb

Orchids Running In The Rain

The choice was theirs to make. Feel down and weighted by the heavy rain, or jubilant in the abundance of life. They chose jubilant.

Flowers as paint brushes

A forgotten meadow hums with renewed life and charm. The biting plow blade has long since rusted, and nature—the grandest of artists-- has turned flowers into paintbrushes.

Sunflower Squared

All the sunflowers aspired to be round and perfectly shaped...except one. What would happen if I chose to be square, it wondered. What if I don't reveal all of my secrets to the wind, birds, and humans?

This Little Light Of Mine

Somehow both dignified and blatantly feminine, the lily petal defines itself with its red flame. Women are like that too if you are allowed the chance to see beyond the exterior.

Loves Me, Loves me Not

The game from childhood that foretold the outcome of girlish crushes…he loves me, he loves me not… As each flower petal fell to the earth in a most unloving way.
