On Thanksgiving morning a few months ago, I went out early and photographed some of the leaves and trees in my neighborhood. I used one of the photographs as a guide for this painting. It has become one of my favorites.My friend, Jim, saw it and called me wanting to know how much I wanted for it. Not wanting to part with it, I painted another version for Jim.

HI Emily! Thank you for your visit to my blog. You have great talent as well..and I'm all for bold colors! Your paintings of plants are great!!
A flowering Pear Tree was planted in the front yard of the home we are building in the Pacific NW by the homeowner's association. Not having seen one, I googl-ed images, ofcourse, and your beautiful painting leapt off the screen at me! You have captured something that speaks to me and certainly expresses more to me about what a flowering pear tree is than any stock photo landscape image ever could...thank you. I can see why your friend wanted this work of art...Jeff
Jeff, thanks so much for your comment. Its a great encouragement to me. I planted two flowering pear trees myself this past fall. They bloom beautifully white in the spring, but their colors in the fall nearly take my breath away.
