My love of spring wildflowers may be genetic. When my maternal grandmother was a high school senior in 1912 she wrote “We hail the approach of spring… our pulses are stirring as the odor of the arbutus and the violet is wafted on the gentle breeze….” I hope my new acrylic painting “Showy Orchis” celebrates the glory of spring visually as elegantly as young Emma Fox did verbally.

The textured paper I’ve used for the print is very similar to the watercolor paper I use and the color is beautifully true to the original watercolor. In fact, it looks like an original painting! These museum quality prints are sized to fit standard precut mats and ready made frames, … Read More
