Joy

I had an amazing yoga session today.  You know, the kind that leaves you more energized that when you started, even though you worked really hard?  I tried to channel that energy into art today.

I'm experimenting with background and how it adds to the whole.  This tablecloth is so intense.  I'm working to balance the inevitable focus on the red flowers with other pieces in the foreground.  In any case, the intensity of the roses seemed a good match for my mood.  I stitched as fast as I could using a white thread, to allow the images to speak for themselves.
