(WORK IN PROGRESS)
The idea for this painting comes from some photos sent to me by cousins who went on a cruise to Alaska. Althea is an accomplished photographer, Burt probably goes along to carry the luggage. :-) He's very handy - or used to be.
I need to finish this with some glazes then put some detail in that long doo-hickey-thing coming out of the flower blossom. It should have many "bumps" on it. I think that the part is a "pistil" or a "stamen" - my biology friends might tell me?
If I'm not wrong, those bumps still missing in your flower are actually tiny flowers with a pistil and/or stamens each one of them. These "flowers" are really groups of flowers or inflorescens (as sunflowers are, too, for instance)... I love plants !oD and yours is turning out lovely, I want to see it finished already!
