This humble prunus...

Snapped in Anna's backyard in Penola...

On a magnificent fresh day last year...

Humble or magnificent?

Depends on your perception?

No...

That's conceited...

It stands on its own...

Whether it is noticed or not...

Thanks so much to Anna for keeping my website up to date...

Up to now...

Now it is my turn ...

This was my first painting this year...

Calling it an argument for hope...

Pinched from the subtitle of Tim Flannery's book Here on Earth...

Which I was reading at the time of painting this...

And back to Adelaide for the subject matter...

Snapped in Auntie Bub's front yard in Mitchell Park last August...

An early blossom...
