Two Blades of Grass

Soft Pastel on Paper

I have a cow pasture behind my house.  I see cows grazing everyday. I enjoy watching these large creatures doing their thing. This one was eating but when she paused to watch me for a moment, I could see she still had two blades of grass hanging from her lip.  I would like to do a series of "cow portraits".

I moved a few months ago and discovered I have these lovely tea roses growing in my front yard.  I see dew on them in the mornings and warm sunlight hitting them in the afternoons.  I find myself studying them as new blooms unfold each day.  I am now working on a second one in this series.  I wonder if these will bloom year round, here in Louisiana.

Irises are my favorite flower.  Purple is my favorite color so that may have something to do with it.  I was lucky enough to snap photos of a bunch of bearded irises, on their last day, before they wilted and died off for the summer.  I would love to do a whole series of these.
