I ran across a really great floral photographer here on AW her name is Carmen Fuchs and she has allowed me to use a couple of her floral photographs to use as references to paint. This is the first one and I have named it Springtime as I for one ams so looking forward to spring and flowers to me are the ultimate representative for the coming season. Thank you Carmen for allowing me to use your lovely photos. Original photograph ©Carmen Fuchs http://artwanted.com/imageview.cfm?id=284035 Original Artwork © Kathi Perry 2006
