NOTES

- This Oil painting is part of my Celebrity Collection of 15 flowers   

that I painted a few years ago. 

- All flowers are painted on a 24 x 24 canvas.

- Believe it or not, I spent most time painting on the leaves, 

so they would not look stiff or formal.

- Since the Netherlands are going to face their final game 

in the world cup soccer this week,

I'll give Holland three cheers with these tulips!

FLOWER OF MY DREAMS -PROTEA

©  24 x 24 Oil, St.Germain

Notes

I saw her and I had to paint her

for I gazed and was taken up in a dream

of vivid colors, 

roselike petals 

and dreamcatchers' feathers

-more detail than usual 

to make sure this dream stays with me 

till I'm ready to catch the wind 

and the clouds form another dream
