The Gathering

"The Gathering" is the result of a major splurge, one fun, quick trip to the store to take advantage of Fall's bounty.  All I knew of what was chosen is the colors and shapes made me happy.  The flowers were unique varieties of well-known favorites - each bursting with layers, curlicues and color.

I also knew that the backlighting from that big picture window in our kitchen eating spot would be just the right background. Love it all together.

I started this piece during a Facebook Live session before Thanksgiving - only to abandon it until after those great flowers were kaput and my green gourd turned a faded shade of orange.  Still, the gourds reprised their spots, vases held the places for the flowers and my ceramic roosters were happy to get back into position for a marathon finish. You can watch the Facebook Live video here. Not great filming as life was challenging right about then.
