My New Trick For Getting A Great Flower Photo

I had an interesting idea for how to photograph a flower.  It's probably new to just me and has done by many others……  but, it worked fantastically. 

I was trying to get a close up photo of a Meyer Lemon flower  – my latest favorite new house plant. There were so many leaves and background distractions in the photos, so I grabbed a sheet of black paper. Held behind the flower, it  allowed me to get a photo of just the flower. And WOW  – a really great photo.  Take a look and see what you think!

Isn't that wonderful?!

The black background really makes the white pop.

New Mini Paintings

I have two new mini paintings finished this week.  Both are on 3" x 3" square miniature canvases. I think the square shape highlights the flowers nicely.  Both can be found in my Etsy shop.  Enjoy the weekend!
