Description
Dear Helle,
I painted this nasturtium for you using the photo I posted on November 1st as a reference. Since I can't draw worth beans, I traced the outline and then painted from there. If I'd known how it was going to turn out, I would have painted it on a transparent layer in ArtRage, but as it was, the background was white. I took that white background out, put a photograph behind the flower, and postworked the photograph beyond recognition.
It was a fun piece to do, and I thought you'd like to know how it all came together!
Birthday hugs,
Tara
Happy Birthday, Helle!

OHHH!! Tara! How did you know, that nasturtiums are one of my favorite flowers? This is so lovely and exactly the right color, that I love the most. Thank you so much, dear friend, it is a masterpiece :-))))))))

Lovely.
Very nice artwork
Outstanding work and dedication for helle.tara. God Bless.
Very pretty I love these flowers I grew a few last yr... love them in a salad Great dedi for Helle:) Hugs Susan~
Super work! Looks like you can draw after all! A wonderful gift.
This is magnificent! It's a perfect gift too! I love the brilliance and the intense, lively color! Such a wonderful antidote for the winter-time grays that have overcome Chicago with its now-short days. This is super! I stared at this for a long, long time, and in a darkened room it really jumps out and plays nicely with my eyes. This is a perfect gift for The Birthday Lady!
Superb painting. Happy birthday Helle.
So lovely, perfect pic.
That's really awesome work, Tara! I had to look twice to make sure it wasn't a photo! Nice thing about using nasturtiums as painting models is you can eat them afterwards! LOL
true beauty and richly done.
Nice closeup.
Lovely colors and composition
Strikingly beautiful. I hadn't noticed that you posted it in the 2D gallery & just assumed it was a photo. Thanks for sharing your creative process as well...
What a beauty!
