I am in LOVE!!!!

What a  feeling!! And the object of my undying love isn’t even complete yet.

This piece is inspired by the spray of yellow flowers that grow along East Texas highways.

I remember my daughter bending to pluck these flowers. Then, she would run back to me with them clutched in her tiny hands. The yellow blooms were a demonstration of her love.

Each year, I wait for the same roads and hills to dance with the brilliant blanket of yellow flowers.  And when they do, I smile remembering the bouquets that were picked with such care just for me.

We all remembers bouquets that were picked with love by tiny trusting hands.

Now, I don’t have to wait for those flowers to bloom to take out that special memory. It will be hanging in my living room.

I will post the completed piece when I am finished with it. Keep checking back to see how it turns out.
