Sometimes I have an image in my mind and try to re-enact it the best I can. This was one of those attempts. I wanted a close up of a water-drop on a pink flower. I took a day or so to photograph some different flowers with a wonderful close up lens on my camera. I managed to capture this just as I had imagined!

On occasions also I get invited to paint at events.
