Maple Tree Inspiration

The neighbors  maple had very little in the way of yellow and orange on it this year.

My studio has a greenish cast to it these days as the light bounces off of the red oak leaves.

Peonies

I took a bunch of pictures (185 pics in all) of my peonies tonight, and found myself being greatly inspired but the petal and leaf shapes of this particular plant. I have some silk fabrics that I dyed using cochineal and madder root that I stitched but never went any further with them, now I'm wondering how I can go dimensional with these fabrics, in effect capturing the essence of these beautiful flowers!

Note I"m not sure why the pictures are loading with this distortion, they don't look like this in Photoshop!
