Description
Thanks to having to update the design/functionality of ObsidianDawn.com and my taxes, I'm now officially a month behind on these. I'll catch up at the end of this month, hopefully! I need to finish a sea monster painting I'd started on before all this happened first, though. So that'll be next!When I was growing up, when the flowers first started blooming we would go outside and frolic in them. Most years, that involved holding a buttercup (some people use a dandelion) up to our chins to see the yellow reflection on our chins. The petals are highly reflective, so it makes this beautiful yellow-orange glow. The degree to which it glows is supposed to mean various things, depending on which version of the folk story you grew up hearing -- but mostly, if you like butter.
Kinda silly. I don't need a flower to tell you that I like butter.
But the glow looks pretty and always reminds me of spring.

Thank you! I'm a huge fan of freckles in portraits for some reason. And redheads, which just goes along with the freckles.
