I have been trying to think of something to photograph in the comforts of my own home...and this is what I came up with! My husband has a wonderful rose garden and he was kind enough to let me pluck a rose, use some paint, gather a TON of newspaper, and help me set up in the middle of the living room :) Set up took an obnoxiously long time...my equipment is scattered all through the house (not to mention also in the Jeep).
Very nice and very creative! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
From my Daughter..."That is gorgeous!"
I find it very creative and very unusual! Well done, lets see more!
Very artistic and interesting. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Hmmmm, a challenge; do one with the rose positioned horizontally (right angle to the drips) and match the paint to the rose color?
@Gjtoth & JudyB: thank you! It was a lot of fun to do (aside from the set-up that seemed to take forever).
@Jimiam: Interesting idea, I'll have to try that. I'm hoping to do a lot more of this (get a full series going on) and I really like your take on it.
Here's a closer shot on the rose and paint

Well Done!

A series is a great idea on these! So unique! I look forward to seeing more of your work. The close up is superb! :thumbsup:
That's really creative, and an amazing job making it a reality! I just feel sorry for the rose, being all covered in paint in all. ::)
Very clever and creative, followed through to a striking and beautiful result. And like most creative ideas, it brings up a host of possibilities.
Thanks for showing it to us.
