Now hanging next to the Oval Throne with the little Daffodils from my friend Merry O’Spin.

Sparkling dashes of color surface and dance around here everyday.
One that I am enamored with, is ” Hya Cinth” with her delicate row of petals, fluting out like small tooting horns. She is my newest star in my bunch of sparkles, definitely a subject to paint.
This “Botánica” reminds me of the dainty hyacinth from a bird’s eye view…
…wonderfully fresh, light and airy with seeds of sun and fun!

Illustration Friday’s topic this week is: HOMAGE
I originally painted this piece shortly after my mother passed away a few years ago, it was to acknowledge and honor her.
She came from Boston, Massachusetts but lived most of her life in Caracas, Venezuela. She had an amazing mind, incredible memory and was patient with grace. It is her that helps me make some of those smart decisions in life.
I tried to captivate her presence from that other world surrounded by the lush and energetic flora and life of the tropics where she lived.
Coincidentally, her anniversary is coming up very soon…
