Inspired by a photo of a single flower

This 15x20 oval unframed acrylic on canvas is one of my favorites. The woman's face began as a sketch in pencil with three flowers for accent. When I decided to use her for a painting I knew I wanted lots of flowers and played with the idea of a mixed bunch, when a friend gave me a photo of one of her lilies. That single bloom was graceful and delicate, just the compliment for the face.
If I were inclined to write I think she would make a good subject for a myth of her own.
