one of a kind

"One of a Kind"

Mixed media acrylic painting

One day I was taking photos of a friends land out in the country.  Their land is beautiful, full of different landscapes and textures.  

This was a project in which I would come out and take photos at the peak of  each season.

   It was the spring photo shoot and I was "out of my mind excited" 

to see a hillside full of beautiful white flowers.  

I was literally laying on the ground in the woods getting awesome macro shots.

That wonderful, in the moment of beauty- feeling came over me.  I loved it!

That is until I realized that my keys had fallen out of the my pocket.

Yep.  In the woods.   keys. gone. 

bummer.

They were gone.  So, I called a friend to rescue me and then continued taking photos.

There among those little white flowers on the hill was a gorgeous white flower standing tall.  

Different from all the rest. 

One of a kind.

Beautifully simple, but almost seemed out of place.  

But the beauty of this story is that out of that bummer moment came a beautiful photograph,

which I just recently painted and felt that "out of my mind excited" feeling once again.

I love art.
