Solitude, heartsease and victory

New paintings are now available at Meyer Gallery, Park City. I started these late last year in the winter when I was dreaming of springtime and of brighter days ahead. Like many others, I found great comfort through walks in nature, contemplating the beauty of the landscape. “Heartsease” is a poem by Christina Rossetti which is simply about love and the symbolism of flowers. Heartsease is a much lovelier name for the pansy flower don’t you think? The painting “A Victorious Girl” represents my hopefulness and faith in overcoming adversity.

Heartsease in my garden bed,
With sweetwilliam white and red,
Honeysuckle on my wall:
Heartsease blossoms in my heart
When sweet William comes to call,
But it withers when we part,
And the honey-trumpets fall.

Christina Rossetti 1830-1894
