"Magnolia Music"
Watercolor on Paper
30 x 40
So it is usually in February when a small Magnolia Tree in my backyard blooms. This year it seems not quite there yet at that stage,... can see the buds becoming plump.
So simple to see each one open..each beautiful in it's own particular shape, color.
When this painting was finished and I was about to title it, I set it against a wall to get some distance, take it in.
Looked like the notes on a scale, some beautiful melody.

There is a certain time in the morning
when the light drifts through the window,
spilling little shafts of illumination.
In it's bright beauty
I am thankful for this time
and a new day.
