Three Muses Challenge - Nature




I loved Marie's theme of Nature for this week's Three Muses Challenge, and even though I am in the 'back of beyond' somewhere in New Zealand with a dodgy internet connection I couldn't resist having a go.

Thanks Marie.

PS Please accept my apologies for not commenting on your blogs whilst I'm away. I promise to catch up when I return.

    I agree with Ellen. You are doing an amazing job to be able to create anything when on such a long journey and living in cramped conditions. This is fabulous, Ann. A surreal lady of nature. What more could we ask for?
    Wonderful artwork, as always.

    To use one of Marie's favorite terms, I'm gobsmacked! This is SO unique, and delicately done! I absolutely love it! How nice that you find time to join in in the midst of your winter get-away!

    This is so cool Ann- she is a sophisticated Mother Nature in her beautiful garden- reminds me of the dryads (tree spirits)
