"garden of cosmos"


A wonderful poem by Tumblewords for this weeks OSI prompt "stardust" reminded me of a painting I did more than 30 years ago. The painting is entitled "the sun and the cosmos." It was inspired by my mother's garden, just outside my bedroom window, and a rather fumbling attempt at combining realistic observation with fanciful imagination. So I retrieved it from a dusty corner and took a photo (right).

What a wonderful painting, love the "puns" on suns and cosmos! Just a great idea! It was a really inspiring prompt this week.

I love your painting...and that's exactly what I thought of--the flowers, not your painting--when I read Tumblewords' poem!
"Cosmic" connections! ;)
