Like A Light Switch
Sometimes the seasons inch gradually from one to another. You are in the midst of Winter and without note, over a span of time, you realize you are enjoying Spring.
Not this year. Not here anyway. Mother Nature has thrown the switch. The air temp is a comfortable warm with flowers exploding into bloom. The desert is green. The citrus trees are releasing their heavenly scent and the blossoms in those trees are crowding out the remaining fruit. While it was winter last week, it is Spring, right here, right now.
With camera and sketch book in hand I find myself more and more involved with the flowers. They have become larger on my canvases and in my sketch book they threaten to take over, pushing everything else aside.

Some of the desert's most celebrated floral designers will offer interpretations of works in the museum's collection. You can bet I will be there to see the arrangements, for the beauty and the inspiration. What a great way to acknowledge this immediate arrival of Spring.
