Clementis 2005

The weather in the Vancouver area and all around, has been for weeks cool and rainy and finally today we're in a warm spell. From my studio window we planted a clementis and the pink and beige flowers bloomed finally; I hope that sun stays for awhile. We planted it close by the window because the blossoms and leaves create much needed shade and the fragrance is sweet. That painting was completed years ago and I'm sure with more sun the plant will yield more flowers and look just like that composition. Wildflowers are so hardy and just bloom and some come into fruit and soon will go to seed. Just because they're wildflowers and they make do with what nature throws their way.
