Changes


One year not so long ago a beautiful wall of morning glory plants grew up a trellis mounted on the side wall of the house. The blooms became my initial focus and a project was conceived to record their daily changes. Initially, the plan would include the flowers and the lake playing together in a midsummer sky.


When painting began I noticed the blooms shift in time or a breeze and follow the sun's path across the sky. As time past bees and dragon flies entered the scene showing themselves in flight.


The pace of work accelerated to incorporate the activity in front of me. Each day after supper a painting was made recording the changes.
