I found the most amazing Dahlia at the Farmers Market this weekend. She is a wild one, as you can see in the photo to the right. Her petals curl in deep red and pale yellow spirals in the center while her profuse outer petals spring out erratically. I had to bring her home as she makes me smile. This morning I tried to paint her and as I stared more and more intently at her I realized that the imagination of her Creator is way beyond my painting capabilities. I decided not to paint a replica of her but paint my interpretation, which just might turn into another fun fabric. Who knows?
