Blue Flowers

Wisteria Time, 6 x 6 " oil on panel

This parasitic vine that covers  trees and climbs buildings is so beautiful right now. It is exotic, romantic, and very dramatic. Wisteria has long inspired artists with its graceful twisting branches and profuse flowers. 

There are several spots near my house to paint Wisteria, but it is so windy and cold today that I decided not to paint plein air. I hope to paint a couple of scenes full of Wisteria before it stops blooming. It never lasts very long.
