I am very often inspired by music, just listened to a Chopin Nocturne op.9 no.1…
Magnolia proctoriana, an abundant early flowering tree, with 6 very large pure white tepals. The tepals droops, which gives the plant a unique appearance.
It is a upright tree with large fragrant white flowers.
I love the different lichen on the fragile branches… probably not so great for the tree?
Brought these into the studio, they have a short life span, one was already wind-damaged, a must take portrait…
For years I ‘experimented’ in the studio, to get that Flemish painter’s light? Well, I was born in Flanders, it must be in my blood? LOL.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your comments, M, (* _ *)
