Connection

Connection, 8 by 10 inches, oil

The inspiration behind this painting is a little story about two of my potted plants.I love to shift and rearrange them in my garden often and once when I was trying to do so, two pots could not be separated since their branches reached out to each other, completely intertwined, as if they made a connection! The only way to shift those pots was to cut them off but I just could not bring myself to do that, crazy sounding may be, but I made sure they stayed together.
When we feel a connection, whether it is with another person, music,art or even places, it is always special and remains for ever.

My collector who bought this painting felt that the red resembled the Sumac shrubs in the the fall in Arkansas.Interesting to see that a little story transpired from my potted plants made a connection to something so far away.The mystery of nature is intriguing!
