Yesterday morning, I took a walk at the Green Spring Gardens Park in Alexandria, VA. It has been crazy busy this year, so it was my first visit to the park. Ah, I could breathe deeply. I wish you were there with me. It was sunny and mild. There were just a few people around. We all smiled and said good morning to each other.
For someone who likes to paint flowers, spring can be exhausting. Flowers come upon each other like torrential rain. How do I keep up with them? The secret to the true enjoyment of this vernal floral glory is letting go. I can't paint them all. Enjoy the sunshine and breeze; bring some flowers inside and put them in a pretty vase; above all, don't forget to smell their enchanting fragrance. If I miss some, there will be always another spring.
