Magnolia Memories
I was new to Boston. I walked down the gray tree lined street to my apartment, went to bed, woke up the next morning and went out the door to work. The surprise that greeted me that morning is frozen in my memory– Commonwealth Avenue had exploded with pink velvety blossoms– from one end of the street to the next and the next and the next. The tree limbs had miraculously transformed during the night. A heady, sensuous fragrance perfumed the air. What a beautiful, welcoming gift from my new little city.
Now I have my own trees and a vase of Magnolias in my window brings it all back.

Spring's flower of vanity-Narcissus
Narcissus, of Greek mythology, was a beautiful youth, who was so obsessed with his own reflection as he gazed into a spring, that he fell in and drowned. Legend has it that the Narcissus flower [or daffodil] sprang from the spot where he died.
Spring's vain flower has sprung onto my windowsill.
Pastel, 5x7, $125.

Travel Memories: Paris Light
April in Paris.
Rain, rain, rain.
It was gray every day.
Even at night.
Until the last- when the sun came out-
and I learned why they call it the City of Light.

French lily
My scanner is not working so I can't put up any new paintings. Here is an old one:
Place: Nice, France.
I am traveling alone.
I go to the flower market and buy a huge bouquet of pink calla lilies as a gift to myself. Then, a bottle of wine, cheese, and bread. I return to the hotel and savor the beauty and scent that now fills my empty room. C'est la vie.
