    Jude, this is magic!!! i LOVE the fabulous dof … you’ve got detail everywhere!!! And the flowing form of the petals added to the colors blending so beautifully and you’ve got a very contemplative and tension-easing image. i see it blown up to nearly wall size in a fabulous New York apartment … all minimalist … lots of white … light beaming in everywhere … and good coffee in a plain porcelain cup. Ahhhh … there you have it!!!!

  • chijude replied

    Lois Lois Lois!! Your lovely words have me smiling smiling!! And thank you so much for the thought you have put into them! The favourite is a lovely bonus. Love the “all minimalist …lots of white” .... know what you mean. Learning to trust myself a little more!!.
