inspirational design!
Words on the fabric are: "The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper." Researcher Terri Guillemets of “The Quote Garden” website traced this quote to Eden Phillpotts and “A Shadow Passes”. In recent years, the quote has been slightly modified and then incorrectly assigned to more prominent authors.

You can see "Colordance of Summer" as a print on Fine Art America.

Color inspiration for the top rose came from the Blue Bayou rose (a shade of pink). The bottom rose was inspired by colors of a rose named Distant Drums. Distant Drums has ruffled petals that are bronze-brown in the center shading to lavender toward the edges. Nancy Lee used Photoshop to add a bluebird from her oil painting, "Pansies And Bluebird." You can see "Pansies And Bluebird" as a print on Fine Art America.

While painting in oil, I appreciated the creamy white of the tulip as it compared with the snow white of the daisy. The cornflowers are a color often called Dutch blue and cornflower blue. While I painted the border with a quiet-gray background, my son Gregg helped me use Photoshop to offer other background choices: Dutch blue, eggplant, lavender, gray, and peach. See it with other colors in the background on my blog page. (https://nancyleemoran.com/blog/?p=442) Designs by Nancy Lee Moran are available for licensing.
