Coral Rose

"That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet." So saith Romeo to Juliette. But what if it were a chocolate rose? Would it smell as sweet—or sweeter? 

I spent most of the day trying to combine two of my favorite subjects—a rose and chocolate.  Alas, I failed miserably. I wiped off the chalky abomination and made this one instead. Thorns and all! 

I shall try again!

Her petals lounged against the patterned background as comfortably as a dad in a hammock.  She seemed to wear the print as easily as her own leaves.  


Here's another one of my textured backgrounds that I enjoy making for single subjects.  Roses look good on the multicolored ones.

Thank you for popping in today!

The pears knew their days were numbered.  They could smell the aroma of vanilla roasted pears wafting from the kitchen.  


There was no green left on the three pears I had used for the single portraits.  They ripened to this rosy-golden glow in short order.  I showed the dimpled blemish on the left-hand guy, just to see if I could do it.  It took a lot of looking and squinting to figure it out.

Thus ends my pear quest.  Thanks for looking.
