look past the peak expression

These daisies are from Gammy. She pulled them from one of her bouquets and saved them for me. She doesn’t fully understand why I want her spent flowers, but she happily indulges me. When I teach my workshops, I encourage my participants to “look past the peak expression” of a subject. I tell there is often more emotion is a spent daisy, or an un opened rose than  in a perfect example of either. I love how these daisies look like lampshades. How lovely would a collection of lamps just like these look in a restaurant or over my French library table? Hmmm…..wheels turning.
