thanks all for the lovely comments on my shadowed cotswolds lane!
meanwhile i spent an inordinate amount of time trying to create an abstract a la georgia o'keeffe of this calla lily. i can't quite seem to get her colours but may well keep trying since the deadline has been extended and i have nothing better to do with my life - oh wait!

you make me laugh. I would so want to join in this challenge if I could squeeze the time somehow. So many works of art showing in my feed. This is great Clare. You have got the swirls spot on.
