interesting flower...looks like it was cut-thought it was a calla lily that was cut.

love the shape of the flower.. nice and creamy overall!
LynnH02-Sep-2012 22:53
This is beautiful, Karen. The swirls of rich green and gold are very soothing, and the stark white, slightly unfurled flower is reaching right out of the frame. V+
laine02-Sep-2012 22:37
another weed that should be reclassified. I love how it's reaching forward out of the background.
