Columbine

"Columbine"
6x4 oil on linen on gatorboard
SOLD

Please check my other listtings as I have other wildflowers posted. Thanks!

The Columbine are in bloom now. I know where there's a large patch of them in the forest where I walk my dogs, so today on our hike I sought them out. I wasn't disappointed! There are probably a hundred of them in various stages of bloom in this one particular spot. I may no longer have my "Walden Pond", but I have a portion of the forest that I watch with the same curiosity and wonder. I watch the march of wildflowers as they bloom at different times during the summer's progression. One can tell the time of year easily without a calendar, if you are aware of the small nuances in nature. What a Godgiven gift!
