Flower photograph inspired a painting

Flower photograph inspired a painting

 

One of my flower photographs inspired a painting.  Clara Nelson asked for my permission to use a photograph as inspiration for one of her paintings.  The image below shows a photograph of her painting.  The photograph that she selected is part of my Inspiration series.

Enjoy the colors of spring with your camera in hand.  One of your pictures may also inspire a painting.

Isn't that lovely! What an honor too, for an artist to be inspired by your photography. Together you both did well! I hope this is just the beginning of good fortune for both of you!!!

That is very neat, Roy.  I think she did a wonderful job capturing your photo on the canvas.

Great painiting and wonderful photo, and a lovely looking orchid which I see a flamingo almost in there.

We have a rainy morning in Kentlands. Take care if you must be out and about on slick roads.

I had to take a second look to see which was the photo and which was the painting. Both are fabulous.

Wow, wow, wow.  Those both are amazing!  That flower is beautiful and both your photo and her painting are just gorgeous.  This may be my favorite you have posted to date.

Hi Roy -- you inspire many when you wisely advise us to take our camera along with us when we are out and about.  That's a particularly nice interpretation of your photo.

My breakfast treat was a waffle with cherrywood smoked bacon. Delicious.

 

Have a great day and an outstanding week!
