I did this painting some time ago. In fact, it is one of the first ones that I put on my blog. If you go back far enough you will see it. I finally got a frame for it and just wanted you to see it framed. When I photogrpahed it yesterday I saved it to my painting folder and called it White Hybiscus, then realized it really was a Rose of Sharon. I have photos of both and have a hard time distinguishing between them sometimes. I am not too flower literate. This is an 8x12 oil, painted on gessoed masonite and I remember I painted it so fast. It just seemed to fall into place. Some paintings are like that and other I just work and work and sometimes they don't turn out so good.Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Hello, I found your blog in a very round about way... Back in the early 1990's my husband and his family were eating out at Wyatt's in Joplin and found your checkbook and mailed it back, receiving a painting and note from you in return. His grandma had it framed and it has been hanging in their home ever since and was recently passed on to us to hang in our baby's room. I decided to look up your work and think it is all very pretty and wanted to let you know that your token of thanks is still in our lives today.
