I wonder how many hours are in this  peacock embroidery....

I miss seeing hanging pots of Fuchsia's here in the south. It gets too hot here for them.

They even grow in flower beds in Oregon.

Southern Jasmine is a good trade off however.

Feel free to click and save these for your artwork.

 I have never made anything with a Japanese style, theme, or look, but there is something soothing going on here.

I have watched demonstrations of Japanese painting ,,,on tv, or at the fair...its been so long, but I do remember it was intriguing, and fast, with wonderful brushes.

 Enjoy!
