I love this piece - the textural contrasts in juxtaposition with the regular patterned elements, the freshness and deceptive simplicity of the flowers with their complex components..... And a reminder of the snow and cold and that spring will nevertheless eventually supplant the frozen chill.

I am probably a little crazy, but it was an idea inspired by something I came across and I thought: I'm going to DARE, because it meant much to me in the past when others supported me! Bonkers, but committed!<br /><br />Thanks for the link and your supportive comments on my post, and I will keep a little something in reserve for you when you are ready! ;)<br /><br />Happy New Year!<br /><br />A.xAmeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011651431719495166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493697081233150779.post-37510540728158459782010-01-04T16:36:36.275+00:002010-01-04T16:36:36.275+00:00Always beautiful, Karen!Always beautiful, Karen!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493697081233150779.post-64211194186035453452010-01-04T16:19:42.962+00:002010-01-04T16:19:42.962+00:00I do like this, your white on white is always stun...I do like this, your white on white is always stunning.
