Moving forward

No pictures today.  I went through my entire stack of photos, and it is many years worth and huge.  No red roses.  

So I went to Jackson and Perkins online and picked out a red rose to emulate.  It printed up so poorly that I'll just be using it mostly for reference for light and shadow.

I'll show you when I have something.  Off to buy pottery today for the yard.  Why don't I make my own, you ask?  Because I can't throw anything as big as what I need.  We're replacing our many little pots in the front with three big ones.  More impact.  And it's all about presentation, doncha know!
