OK, I have to admit that I did stop looking at Wanda long enough to appreciate the concept of the shot. I must be getting old!!!!

Love the idea. Very creative! Blues on the brush match the flowers perfectly!

This is one of the best of the Mother Nature series. It does look like she is painting the flowers. Nice pictures!

Wanda in the rain sounds OK to me.

Artist brushes and a palette were and are the plan for the concept along with her hair loosely tied back with some columbine flower vines.

Yesterday was a major holiday in Utah...Pioneer Day. Both nearby art supply stores were closed so after over an hour plus of driving to shops that were closed it was on to plan B.

The weather and light was a bit bad and we weren't sure of the location so this was just an experiment to work out the kinks. About a minute or two after this shot it started to rain. Wanda's hair got wet and lost all of its curl...shoot over.

This was a location shot and not Wanda shot against a green screen.

We hope to get the final image on Sunday morning.

Love the concept. My only suggestion would be to use artists brushes, position Wanda's right hand so that the brush tip just touched the tree and have a handful of other brushes with varying colors in her left hand. Getting Wanda a little more from the side would help also. Very clever......

Wanda, your hair looks great.!
