It had been months since I last painted. I was recovering from shoulder surgery. I was excited to head out on a long walk early in the morning.
The sun was beginning to dawn. I call this time of day "twinkle time." The lighting was extraordinary. As I was walking along the sidewalk something inside me had me turn around and look up toward the sky. I was so excited to see this beautiful flowering shrub. The oleander flowers were peeking over a very tall stucco wall. The lighting was perfect. I quickly grabbed my camera to take a few reference photos. I hurried home and took out my paints.
After a wonderful day of painting "Hopeful" sat before me on my easel. I thanked God for showing me these lovely flowers.
