"Violets”
50 X 60.5 centimeters
gouache on canvas
This is my newest canvas...
I remember the day I started this project, early in May-
I was out photographing the violets on the ground
growing out of this cobblestone wall,
and a little girl came over to me...
She introduced herself as "Moka",
and commenced to tell me she was living in America since she was two,
and has now returned to Japan.
She was walking along the road she would have to walk to go to her new school.
She looked perplexed, while asking me:
"What are you doing? "
"I am a painter, I told her, and I'm photographing these flowers because they are screaming for my attention"...
And now my screaming violets...
My son left for his first night at work.
He is now working part time after school.
A break in the rainy season, a preview of the heat to come...
Till next time... 'Mela
