SWEET MAGNOLIAS

Original Oil Painting
10 x 8 inches | Framed

Mrs. Bradshaw lived in the house on the corner with the big magnolia tree. A few times a year, her sister Miss Christine would visit.

Together, we would blow the insides out of fragile eggs, cut an oval viewing window in one side, paint and glitter the exteriors, then create magical scenes inside.

I was nine. This was the South. A magnolia tree symbolized good luck. And, good luck it did bring.

In Sweet Magnolias, part of my Interiors series, I painted soft pink blossoms, gathered in a clear glass vase, and set atop a simple round table. The light filters through a paned window, casting warmth across the composition and softening each brushstroke.

An intimate glimpse into the warmth of the past and the grace of friendship and simple beauty.
