Blossom II Art of Flowers

There is a very prestigious art show held in

Houston called "Blossom". It is an international

competition with great prize money. It is sponsored

by the Susan K Black Foundation, and this is the

second year for the show. The deadline is September

30th.

I am deciding which flower photograph I would like

to paint or draw and enter. This photo is in the

running. This is a plumeria tree bloom. I bought

this tree in the airport in Hawaii five years ago! and

have managed to keep it alive. It finally bloomed

this year, and this is it. I think it is beautiful; it almost

looks like the yellow is airbrushed on. Anyway, I

will probably draw or paint this this summer and

see how it turns out.
