I would LIKE to see someone buying the whole set! LOL!
THanks Kip - I was actually thinking the same thing - they would look nice as stretched canvasses, all 4 in a row..... Maybe I should try it out!
But I have no where to hang them!!

I could see them with black frames and matts in a room with those colors in it. They would look beautiful.

The first thing that struck me about the texture of the flower was skin. Possibly elderly skin. Erm, possibly the texture of parts of my own skin. Oh dear, I better stop staring at myself in the mirror for days at a time then
Do you know what else sprang to mind? A helter skelter slide at the fun fare. Now imagine if you went to your local fun fair and saw a helter skelter as organic and beautiful as this rose. I would be straight on their. Perhaps it's the arrangement of the petals but it reminds of a spiral slide.
It's a lovely image, it evokes crimson passion (whatever that is?). I don't know how to convey it coherently, but a rose always seems to effect us in a way that other flowers don't. It's too do with all the marketing and symbolism of it I believe. Red alone is a very expressive colour. It refers to love, sex, Italian sports cars, death, life etc. As a colour alone it encapsulates a whole gamut of emotional response. Then attach that colour to such a symbolic flower, then those responses are somehow entwined within a flower that is so powerful in its effect. A bunch of gorgeous red roses is expressive to the individual they are passed from and too.
Ok, I'll stop my wittering.

Ahhhh Fladam - don't you know that these photos are of the dozen reds you sent me a couple of weeks ago?!
It's funny you should mention the texture of skin - I was thinking the same thing. As a matter of fact, I was relating it to an area of skin on a man's body that I will not utter here!
Thank you so much for your kind words - your posts are always a delight to read, and I have to say that I have finally achieved my goal....
You are at a loss for words! "It's a lovely image, it evokes crimson passion (whatever that is?). I don't know how to convey it coherently"

Well, being the lingual genius that you are, my friend - I actually thought that it would be impossible for you to lose your words. I see now that it CAN be done!
