Purple Iris Flower Painting

My friend Iris will love this painting! It began with about 10 photos my daughter captured in my neighbor's flower garden. The photos were good, but composition wasn't the best and there were too many distractions in the background. I could have worked on the background to deal with them, but decided to do a digital painting instead, and combine two of the flowers into one work of art. And this painting was born! Products and gifts with this image are available in my shop. I think one of my favorite products is the mug:

My Christmas Present from my Husband

Isn't it sweet? He went outside and picked me a flower. I figured I'd better get a photo, as I knew it wouldn't live long. That teacup is a miniature from a china set I played tea with at my grandparents house back in Pennsylvania when I used to visit as a little girl. (yeah, it's pretty old. :))

I've put a verse with this and edited the print for production. You can see the print here in my new Etsy print shop, and products with this image at JaiCards.Com.

#72 Through the Darkness

I shot this photo of one of my neighbor's trumpet flowers about a month ago. I love the rich orange coloring of the flower against the dark background. The perfect sentiment to put with the image came to me this morning: Through the darkness, beautiful things shall blossom.

InJoy,
Jai

#50 With Sympathy

I was really hoping I wouldn't have to design a sympathy card, but a moment has come where it was time to do so. Sigh.

For this card, I chose Allyson's photo of our purple wildflowers.

#37 Life is a Journey, #38 Light, & the girl behind the camera

I thought I'd introduce you to the other photographer behind our camera, my daughter Allyson. Allyson has become quite adept at photographing herself. I've tried to photograph myself and oh my, what a nightmare that was. She has become very skilled at it though, as you can see by these two pictures she took of herself.



I really like this second one with the neat lettering she did. It almost looks like a CD cover to me!


Below are two of Allyson's photographs, both turned into greeting cards. The floral one is titled "Life is a Journey", and the other one is titled simply "Light", but I created a friendship verse for that card. The friendship card is quite personal for me, as I had what I thought was a "true friend" leave me in my darkest moment a year ago. A true friend that doesn't do that should be thanked - which is why I designed the card...for those of you who have friends who stick with you during the dark times.

InJoy,
Jai

#35 Yellow Lily

Once again, another incredible flower photo by Allyson, taken in our neighbors garden. Our neighbor, Ms. June, has gardens around the front and back of her house, the side of her house, the front of the storage building, and the side bordering our lot.

She works tediously every year - outside each day in the tremendous heat - cultivating her beautiful blooms. She said gardening is like therapy to her - it soothes her soul and makes her smile when she sees new blossoms. She knows exactly what to plant where, and how to take care of each one. She knows the names - both technical and simple - of each flower. She is a master at her craft, and this photo of one of her lilies proves it.

InJoy,
Jai

#15 Double Blossom Orange Lily

What a gorgeous flower...full of rich orange and yellow coloring. It's in my neighbor's garden. I thought it was a tiger lily, and she explained it was a double blossom orange lily. I thought it looked "fuller" than a normal lily - well with two blossoms, one embedded inside the other, now it makes sense why it's much more filled out than most of the lilies I see.

Below I've shown the image on the birthday greeting and note cards we've designed for JaiCards.Com.

#9 Yellow Wildflower & #10 Sunburst

Here's two photos Allyson shot recently. I don't know how she does it, but she has this uncanny ability to get unique lighting/colors in her photos! The sunflower appears to be on a background hued with purple, yet the flower itself is pure in color! Same as with the yellow wildflower, except its background is a blue/green hue. I thought they were very interesting, so they have made it into our 365 project!

InJoy,
Jai

#5 Make a Wish

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. Start on your journey toward great things...make a wish today!

Allyson took this photo out in the front yard. I think it's a pretty cool shot, don't you? :)
