Flowers…..

One of the things that I mentioned in a previous post that helps me get through the dark days of winter are flowers.
Beautiful vibrant flowers…and maybe a little wine.

Something I have missed participating in during this busy season, is working with the skills that I took away from my still life class, Start 2 Finish, with Kim Klassen.

So today while the man who fixes my machines in the shop was occupying my space, I took some time to work in Lightroom and Photoshop. I don't want to forget what I have learned.  It is so amazing what you can do and my knowledge of either of these programs is maybe 5%.  I can only image what you can do when you really have a clue..ha!

On my way home from Tai Chi today, I stopped in the market and picked up a bottle of red wine for the pot roast that is now in the oven filling my house with such delicious smells and I grabbed a bouquet of flowers to brighten up a spot in my kitchen that I walk by every day.

My photoshopped picture is not bright and cheery, but rather moody and mindful which makes a beautiful picture, but today I am happy to look at the cheerful version in my kitchen too!
Enjoy your evening!
