Savannah wisteria

This past week, the first week in April, I painted this wisteria at some friends' house. In person, it is actually a white wisteria that somehow has been depicted in a classic purple. I wish that I could also include its heavenly fragrance of jasmine instead of the more traditional wisteria fragrance of my youth. Both are wonderful and only too brief.

So it is the middle of the winter and we have returned to mild weather here. Gerber daisies have been blooming in the garden for weeks. Now my watercolor of the Empress Paulownia or Paulownia imperiales has come out of my brushes on to the paper. So many flowers mesmerize me and implore me to paint them--heavenly creatures.
