30”x 40” acrylic on Number 80 Bainbridge Board cold-pressed. I used gesso to cover the beginnings of something I had started a long time ago. I have been working on this off and on for the past couple of weeks…...... between giving time to two grandsons, ten cats, and a dog. First large painting, and first flowers I have done in a while. My inspiration has been all the wonderful florals I have seen on RedBubble! There are so many beautiful paintings and drawings on this site….....all are an inspiration for me to paint and draw again.

In Ode, Intimations of Immortality from Reflections of Early Childhood, William Wordswoth wrote: Though nothing can bring back the hour / Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower / We will grieve not, but rather find / Strength in what remains behind. I was reminded of those lines when I saw a single blade of grass that had gone to seed and was blooming deep in the woods. The tiny flowers were a sight to behold.
I don’t know why but I just keep coming back to this blossom image.
Great friends, great fun !!!!!!- the colors represent happiness. A natural portrait of friends having fun in the sun :]
Taken with my Nikon D60 with standard 18-55 lens. / As the camera remembered it :-) / Each year I wait patiently for the bluebells to arrive – its a great moment when you walk into the woodland and its covered in a carpet of purple! Photo taken in Hampshire, England. This image made my first sale & i’m sooooo pleased as it is my favourite. (Whoever bought it, thank you so much and hope you enjoy it as much as I do)

I was on my way to work one morning, on the ferry as usual, when all of a sudden a single frangipani blossom landed on the deck beside me. Where it came from I don’t know. / / I wanted to photograph it, but hesitated. First, what would the other passengers think? Second, I’m sure the crew already thinks I’m batty, and they may be right. / / But the real reason I hesitated is that the blossom wasn’t perfect. There it was on the deck, blowing around, hitting a small puddle of water that was sitting there … and all I could think was “shame – it’s not perfect”. Beautiful, but not perfect. And the scent – I wish there was smellography so I could share that too. / / I picked it up, put it down, and it blew away. I felt a loss and picked it up again. I had to shoot. Even if I didn’t show it, because it wasn’t perfect. / / But I’ve thought about it, and I think maybe it is the imperfections that make it beautiful. The same applies to people. We could make an exact duplicate of a perfect frangipani blossom out of some unnatural material. It would last for years, and always look the same. Extract some scent and spray it occasionally, and you’d have the same effect as a real flower right? No. / / The reality, fragility, and imperfections combined with the improbability of it landing on the deck beside me are what made this beautiful. After all, I pass by a frangipani bush every day, covered in gorgeous blossoms. I’ve never spent the time staring at them that I did at this one imperfect blossom. / / Beautiful. / / / © Sara Lamond 2007. All rights reserved. / / / / / / / / / / / /

” ~ For My Friend Byron ~ 11” / / ~ In Loving Memory of your Mother ~ / / The long winter has passed, and it’s such a joy to see the forest come alive with new buds, and the Dogwoods in bloom. I find myself strolling along through the forest gazing at these blossoms as they brighten up the early spring sky. Native Dogwoods are small shrubs varying in size, and height that thrive under Arkansas hardwood forest. The blooms are approx 1 inch in diameter. Blooms in mid-May. / / If you would you like to ADD YOUR OWN WORDS to create a personal sentiment to this as a greeting card, please / Contact Me / I will make it personal from YOU, to YOUR friends. / / FEATURED IN SPRING BLOOMS 1 24 009
