This is my daily entry in the 5 Weeks In May Challenge, Abstract. Some may say, well this really isn't an abstract, because it looks like a flower. Well you are right, it is a flower, but this photo is not what it appears to be at all, so in that respect I guess it could be considered an abstract. Now before you flood my posting with all the kind, flattering comments about how well I paint, and how artistic I am, let me tell you, I am not painting. I'm faking it, LOL. I am only holding the brush. Now I have painted before, and I enjoy it, but this one has already been created. Remember, things are not always as they appear.
@sangwann@olivetreeann Dione, good observation. And Ann, yes, the light is coming from underneath. It is the lampshade on my Grandmother's old floor lamp, and I think the light highlights the photo very well.
