Hydranges are one of my favorite flowers. I like the idea of having a "secret" in the paintings. I look forward to seeing what you do next. <BR/><BR/>Smiles, CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12615960185096819901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-658452869447783130.post-3814654255873006312007-11-09T21:57:00.000-08:002007-11-09T21:57:00.000-08:00Hi, Cindy,Thank you for your kind words about my p...Hi, Cindy,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kind words about my painting. I'm glad you agree with the title, too. I still wish the color would come out as subtle as in the real artwork, but it may just be my monitor, too.<BR/><BR/>Remember how I often say I have a "secret" in my work? Take a look at Fragile Wings again, go up the center of the vessel, through the flowers. Just at the top, there is a flower that looks like an arrow pointing up. It points to the base of the neck of a "fragile" figure, and her right wing extends diagonally up to the left. You can see the light through her white gown, a bent knee, and more if your imagination is free. She looks a little like "Winged Victory", which I saw at the Louvre in person. All this is totally unintentional and I only discovered it after posting the painting today.<BR/><BR/>Do you see it, too?<BR/><BR/>MicheleMichele Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807201831447854822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-658452869447783130.post-15069222668098147562007-11-09T20:58:00.000-08:002007-11-09T20:58:00.000-08:00Happy Friday Michele!

I love the way their petals are both brillantly and softly colored. Thankyou for sharing your work!<BR/><BR/>Smiles, CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12615960185096819901noreply@blogger.com
