“Turn out the lights, the party’s over; they say all good things must end.” Willie Nelson

You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, but you can try! The faded Christmas Amaryllis, in all it’s faffed glory. Smile.

This is really pretty! I love how you painted it! Did you do this in photoshop? It's got great texture to it!

[Diana]

Fabulous faffing Lou Ann, love the tones!

[Lou Ann]

@jenp I actually used the Prisma app on my iPhone. 😊

[Lou Ann]

@jenp @ludwigsdiana thank you so much. I couldn’t think of a good way to display the last stages of the Amaryllis, so I put it in front of that mirror. Just having fun, too cold and miserable to be outside right now. Thank you both for your faves!

[Joy's Focus]

I love your processing on this! Very cool look!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lovely arranged still life in front of the mirror Lou Ann - and I love the edit - fav

[Babs]

It still looks beautiful even though the party is over. I love the editing.

[Carole Sandford]

I like your processing!

[katy]

I think you have done remarkably well and I feel like some of the Dutch Masters created some paintings just like this

[Lou Ann]

@ludwigsdiana @joysfocus @mittens @henrir @pcoulson @cindymc @joansmor @pdulis @beryl @onewing @carole_sandford @grammyn Thank you all for your comments and faves. You would have laughed at me, I was determined to get a decent shot of this last stage Amaryllis. Believe me, it traveled to every room in the house before it landed in front of that mirror. Smile.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Yes, it does look a little droopy next to its full-bloomed neighbor!

[Danette Thompson]

But you made it all look pretty

[Milanie]

Neat processing and a great thought to use the mirror.

[Taffy]

Very effective processing -- simplifying it to convey the shape and the passage of time in its life cycle.

[KWind]

Fabulous processing!

[Sam]

That sure has been faffed!

[Lou Ann]
