One of my roses, before it was beat by the heat. Looking at this photo, it’s easy to understand why ‘flower’ is often used as a pseudonym for a certain part of a woman’s anatomy…
I spent an hour last night soaking the ground in my garden. (Pun intended.) Will my efforts resurrect my roses? Doubtful. But I got splashed a bit, so it was worth it. Besides, it was refreshing (to say the least) to get wet (heh) from something other than sweat.

You probably like the work of Georgia O’Keefe
While I definitely respect her work as an artist, O’Keefe’s work is not to my personal taste. If we’re discussing artwork from the Art Deco/Art Nuveau period, I much prefer the luminescent qualities of Maxfield Parrish’s watercolor illustrations.
Mucha. Love his work.
Very nice. He used such a warm color palette, and he wielded his brush skillfully; every time I look at one of his pieces, it seems like the models have light radiating through them.
“L’origine du monde”, a pink version of Courbet’s! 😉
An apt comparison. 😉
