I found this great poem on a packet of Indian Paint seeds: “A strange little flower with a sun-kissed nose, without perfume yet red as a rose. Did some Indian maiden plant you here in the footprint left by the hoof of a deer?” -A.V. Hudson

Just love this one and the ones you have posted this week especially.
Obviously, I love this one, too!!! What fun to see something you are familiar with rendered in a painting! The poem is so apropos. Thanks, Sue
p.s. I wished for you during this evening’s sunset after a rainstorm. Now I see everything in “lights and darks.”
Wow, Juliana. “Spring Blooms Red Orange” is one of my favorites. It simply touches my soul.
Following your work for almost 2 years now I’m seeing you finding your distinct and beautiful style.
Love,
