    Whew. I found the end …or beginning. You have photographed so many of the subjects I have been trying lately and with the posts of your Teasel and Joe-pye weed and Bull Thistle, you would think I was trying to copy you. Well, the old addage says great minds run in the same direction or fools think alike so……somehow we have some sort of affinity. I will probably continue to post images that I photographed of subjects that inspire me but they are not for sale and no one would want them anyway. I started posting images of flowers when I photographed the Bloodroot in my yard and I photographed it because I wanted to put it into a painting. I wanted to show my blog visitors my process. Thought it might be interesting. I am going to visit your blog often. It is just so appealing to me. Glad I linked it to mine.

    Here is one of my explanations for using wild colors in some of my work. There are also some references to it in the About Me and My Biography. I like your colors in your photoshop images (or whatever you used to do it) probably because it is similar to what I try to do. I wrote this when I started the blog a few months ago. (I am not much of a writer either. My photography and writing are both inadequate . I would love to be more cretive with both, but I hope I communicate)

    My New Fauvism
    I am giving my latest paintings a wild and untamed approach by using more saturated color than those used in my realistic and abstract paintings. These new paintings, especaially the ones with wildflowers represented, are part of the fervor I have for protecting a part of our world that, though most of us rarely even think of it, is more exciting than a night in any sports bar or movie theatre. I hope some people will agree with me that the most exciting aspects of our existence fall into the category of things supplied by nature…..such wonders as gold finches, ladyslippers, meadows and mountains. I want my paintings to translate an emotion of urgency and yet speak of beauty that is fast falling victim to the bank rolls of the developer and his financiers. Men have the power to either destroy it or protect it and love it. We are a part of it. We must learn to often leave the controlled climates of our buildings and houses and connect with the environment that sustains us.
