Awakening

"Awakening"
20" x 16"
Oil on wrapped canvas

Her parts squeaked one against another as yesterday's dense bud split into a profusion of delicate petals.  Fragrance befitting royalty filled the air the morning of her... Awakening.

This is my large version of "Chasity" that I posted on Wednesday.  I cocked her head differently and left the blue sky reflections on my palette. This is the more accurate rendering of the photo I took at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. And I painted it entirely with sponges! I had been yearning to use them again.

Thank you for taking the time to look in on me today.
