Magnolia Blossom

Lately I have been painting a series of individual flowers.  Rather then framing, I like to see them sitting on shelves or tabletops for a splash of seasonal color.  The Magnolia is the state flower of Mississippi and Louisiana.  Not only does it have a lovely fragrance, but it makes me think of days gone by, Tara and southern belles.

Tallapoosa School of Art

 

 I enjoyed visiting with Qiang Huang yesterday en route to Lake Martin where he is

the inaugural teacher for the Tallapoosa School of Art.  His landscape workshop will include a session in Jim Scott's beautiful gardens.  Best wishes, Dorothy Littleton, and thank you for building your school to bring great teachers to us.  See below, Qiang's beautiful plein air painting.
