I often use my own fuzzy photographs for inspiration and I came across a photo of Lenten Hellebore that I took last spring. I loved the little umbrella (or lantern) shapes the blossoms made and pretty pinks and greens that Hellebore plants have when they are in bloom. My photographs are always a point of reference until I feel I have my colors selected and composition the way I want it, then I let the work and my own eye take over from there.
