Di something or others. by maggie2

Di something or others.

I spent the afternoon painting a picture of this flower with Kathryn J Buehler, who also has a project on here. She knows all the names of flowers. Me....not so much. It's in the foo foo family.
I just love this - the detail, colour composition - wonderful burst of joy.

Lovely pic - we call them dianthus or 'pinks' as they mostly come in shades of pinks, related to carnations I think. Hope the painting was fun - lets see a photo when it's finished
May 4th, 2011  
absolutely gorgeous shot!
May 4th, 2011  
Beautiful color and focus!
May 4th, 2011

May 4th, 2011  
Beautiful!

Aren't They Gorgeous!!!!! The 'Di' is Dianthus plumarius or sometimes called 'pinks'. They are a perennial and return year after year. Dainty and Delicate - Dianthus. Love this shot. Enjoyed our paint session with the bird picture taking in between. Thanks for another GREAT pic and GREAT day.
May 4th, 2011  
Composition and colors are very striking...
May 4th, 2011  
@kbuehl Kathy, we did have a great day!
May 4th, 2011  
This is a great photo, I love the colours in the flowers, especially the edges, would be awesome painted.
May 4th, 2011  
@scrapnyak Tania, it should be awesome painted, but mine is just alright. Flowers are really out of my comfort zone. Animals I can paint with ease. Flowers I thought would be a breeze.....until I tried. I'm working on it though.
May 4th, 2011  
Giggle - love it . AM just the same , the whatsitsname next to the purple thing !
