As I approached the flower area at Kroger recently, I felt my heart leap and my spirit gladden. My nose and pores all tingled. Colors, textures, lines, fragrances - as they each lift their proud faces to me, or shyly turned away. To be chosen to come home with me - or not. Over the years of my painting, I have looked deeply into their souls, and in turn, they have peered into mine. We bond. With each study, sketch or painting, I come closer to knowing how my spirit depends on continuing this bond of getting to know and cherish flora. And our worlds intertwine.
