WILD FLOWERS IN BLOOM, MARCH 2009


Wildflowers are in full bloom in Central Texas, as well as flowers of myriad varieties and colors, and it is only March 2nd. That’s not possible, you say. It is too early; we just had freezing weather last night. We are in one of the worst droughts in recent memory, you say. Well tell that to artists on display at New Braunfels Art League Gallery that just opened their special show today called “Art in Bloom”.

I worked at the art league yesterday and saw several of the entries as they were coming in so I know that if you come in during the month you will be impressed. Linda entered some of her newest wildflower paintings for the show. They are not even on the blog or website yet so if you want to see some of her latest artistic efforts you will want to stop by. The three wildflower paintings are called “Wildflower Paradise”, “Royal Assembly” and “Sunrise Serenade.” Each uniquely different, but they are all full of joyful expression.

March 6th is Linda’s birthday and as luck would have it that is also the date for the opening reception for the “Art in Bloom” show. The hours are from 5 to 8 p.m., so if you get a chance stop by, and maybe raise a toast to the birthday girl. Wine and hors d'oeuvres are being provided for your pleasure while you view all the incredible floral paintings, photography and mixed media. You will walk away inspired, refreshed and maybe with some new artwork to start spring out right.

This is David, Linda’s biggest fan and loving hubbie writing this post. Linda is going at a furious pace right now, trying to keep up with all the shows and events she is or will be doing this month, so I may be writing several more posts this month

You can always subscribe to her e-newsletter to keep up with all the happenings in Linda’s world of wildflowers or stop by this blog often as I will be trying to post every few days about this very busy month.

It may still be freezing and the drought may stunt the beautiful displays of wildflowers in Texas this spring but rest assured Linda is busy making sure that wildflowers in all their glory will be there to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step.
