the Magnolia

Our magnolia tree is beginning to bloom - I'm so excited! When we first bought our house in 2009, I was thrilled to find that there was a small magnolia tree in the backyard. Always have loved them. Growing up, I used to play under my grandmothers tall, beautiful magnolia. So fragrant and gorgeous in the spring!

Also, they provide wonderful inspiration for pink in a piece! I will use any reason to mix up some pink for a painting :) New works to come...
