“... a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ ” Mark 1:3

Arboretum

The year was 2005

It was quite a drive from the wilds of Justin Texas all the way into the Dallas Arboretum. We packed up our 5 yr old grandson and his best friend from next door and headed into Dallas one fine Sunday afternoon. There were not many people there. Today if you go on Sunday afternoon, you could not stir them with a stick.

I had my canon camera with me and got some delightful shots of people being people. My favorite photo I took that day was of an older woman carrying a basket with flowers in it. Looked like she bought them somewhere on the grounds or brought them in for photos to be taken. She had a large straw hat. The next group I encountered was a bride having her bridal portrait done. I did not even step over the line of courtesy to snap anything. I did have a wonderful time watching her smile and pose for the photos.

It was later at dusk I shot a series of Koi in the ponds and a beautiful waterfall along with all the blooms I could snap memories of. This particular painting was off one of the trails there between the trees with steps. Again I have probably painted two versions of this. The original, which sold quickly and I did a similar painting as a commission piece that went to Detroit to live with one of my favorite collectors.

The shadows run deep in the late afternoon and the colors shift to cool in the shade and bright in the sun. This is another painting I may have to revisit in a new style. would love to hear your thoughts about paths and trees and flowers.

Prepare the Way and Follow Him.
