Anyone who knows me, knows that I do portraits, not still lifes. Not flowers, not macros, not nature pix...and there's a very good reason for it--I'm just NOT that good at it. And, frankly, don't care to work at it enough to BE good at it. I love those things--when I'm experiencing them first hand--but nothing about them really *moves* me to want to take pictures of them. Not like people--where I'm on fire to photograph them! :D

But I am utterly infatuated with these flowers...and the way the window light fell on this little still life I put together specifically to create a new heading for my journal...and for me, part of what interests me about this image is that I *feel* a person in it...there's a lovely, fragile looking lavender and old laceish old lady fluttering around in the background here. Perhaps Ruth Wilcox, from Howards End...or a Helen Hayes character...someone not quite of this time...someone who has never sworn, doesn't own a television, thinks things are a bit confusing, outside of her lovely home, and garden, but is content that life goes on without her--just stopping by to visit every now and again.

I think these must've been cut from her garden, early in the morning--if you look closely, you can still see the dew that she couldn't bear to shake off, even if it DID mean it might leave spots on the silk piano shawl it's sitting on, on top of the baby grand. After all, what does it matter? Things get old--and are all the better for being well-used and loved...

Perhaps you'll see why I called this one, "Romantic Notions"! :)

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that I am very interested in buying this picture, however I see here that its not an opinion.

Could you also please tell me more about this image? Size, pixels, and general info.

Thank you,
Laura

I mean by a picture, a beautiful romantic dream of something that never was, never will be, in a light better than
any light that ever shone, in a land no one can define or remember, only desire & the forms divinely beautiful.

I have never loved a picture so much. This is goregous and I can't help myself from not looking at it. The colors, bright, vibrant, fantastic! You should really make this a PRINT!!!! I've finished one of my degree's and this would be the perfect present to myself. Plus, I'm taking piano this quarter at college, and I love nature. So, as you can see, this photo couldn't be better, almost like it had me in mind when it was taken.

Have a great weekend and happy spring!
Laura
