Amaryllis

Yes, it is.  An amaryllis, I mean. I have a few sprigs of eucalyptus with blossoms that are wafting celestial fumes through my dining room. Tomorrow maybe I'll draw those. Anything's possible, given world enough and time.

Thanks so much, J, L, A and C! Janey, I used a micron pen here, I think. I tend to use pencil more than pen, though. Chuck, I'm not sure--I'll check him out. I believe you've told me about his work before. Kisane, thanks so much for the advice. Chuck and Amanda have both told me I need a Mac, so I assume they're giving me one for Christmas ;D.

There is a big difference, for me at least. You have to play with a Mac to see. The OS for both are really quite different, with the Mac OS being more intuitive, I think. Also, software like Photoshop was built originally for the Mac and works better on it, more so then on the PC. I've worked with the Mac since the Classic. Now I use a PC at office (no choice!) but have this lovely silver bullet at home. Seriously Laura, got to your closest Mac shop and try one for a bit. You'll see. :-P

Hey there,
I'm trying to catch up. Those BCs you did are the best! And I always love your flowers. Have you ever seen any of Richard Schmid's flower still lifes? He treats them with 'respect' if that makes any sense. But I know you would love them.

wow! gorgeous!

Laura - excellent as always! You have a wonderful way with flowers, and I think you should write a book!
