Abstract Peruvian Lilies And Mums

An image of delicate white Peruvian #lilies that includes bright yellow accents from cheerful #chrysanthemums set a soft and dreamy tone. Digitally hand painted in #CorelPainter from one of my own photos and given a fun #abstract look.

"Springtime in The Garden" ...

The #garden is blooming with the brightness and fragrance of colorful yellow daffodils as a tiny yellow #bird perches atop the stone flower pot.

Digitally hand painted in #CorelPainter using one of my own photos (not from stock or public domain) as a starting point. (No Ai programs used.)

"Dogwood Blossoms In Spring" ... another hand-painted in Corel Painter from one of my photos I took at the manor house at Beallair a few years ago. As much as I love winter and snow, once February sets in, even I start thinking of spring!!
