Hello, Carolyn! :-)
THis is a so wonderful pastel!!! WOW!!!! I impresed! How you made this details! Colors simply superb! These subtle shades of warm and cold colors! They are very nice! And I wanted to talk you some story from Slavic mythology about fern! (Fern in Rus is often called the gap-grass, and believed that a single touch of its flower is enough to open any lock, break the iron chains and shackles.)
According to the myth, this flower blooms for very short time on the eve of the Ivan Kupala Day(night from 24-25 June, Midsummer). The flower would bring fortune to the person who finds it. In various versions of the tale the fern flower brings luck, wealth,be invisible or the ability to understand animal, trees, herbs speech. However, to break, according to tradition, the flower of fern difficult and dangerous. First, growing flowers at midnight just for a moment and immediately cut short the invisible hand of the evil spirit. Secondly, the spirits of darkness, cold and death was admitted to the horrors and the brave can take him in a land of darkness and death ...
In Ukraine now a hot summer! Very hot, 95 degree F and more on the sun! On this weekend I eat strawberries, which my mother grew up in the garden! This is really a great season! Thank you, Carolyn for such a great topic! :-)))
Wish you have a beautiful days with birds and nature!
