Viola is a genus of flowering plants in the violet family.  Some Viola species are perennial plants, some are annual plants, and a few are small shrubs.  A large number of species, varieties and cultivars are grown in gardens for the ornamental flowers.  In horticulture the term "pansy" is normally used for those multi-coloured, large flowered cultivars.  So you see, although you may have wanted to call this a 'pansy', the terms "viola" and "violet" are normally reserved for small flowered annuals or perennials.

Garlic is a species in the onion family.  Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, and chive.  Garlic is widely used around the world for its pungent flavor as a seasoning or condiment.  

The garlic plant's bulb is the most commonly used part of the plant.  Garlic cloves are used for consumption (raw or cooked) or for medicinal purposes.  They have a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows an ssweetens considerably with cooking.  Some human studies found garlic supplementation to produce small reductions in blood cholesterol.

Contemporary Art Works by Theresa - Snowdrop Flower

2015


The Snow Drop flower is formally known as Galanthus, Greek for milk flower.  These are perennials which grow from bulbs.  Each bulb generally produces just two or three linear leaves and an erect, leafless flowering stalk.  They flower between January and April in the northern temperatures.  There are a number of gorgeous Snow Drop gardens in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.  The short story "The Snowdrop" by Hans Christian Andersen follows the fate of a snowdrop from a bulb striving towards the light to a picked flower placed in a book of poetry.

The Cosmos is a flowering plant in the sunflower family.  Spanish priests grew Cosmos in their mission gardens in Mexico.  The evenly placed petals led them to christen the flower "Cosmos" the Greek word for harmony or ordered universe.  Cosmos, like many of our warm weather annuals such as marigolds, originated in Mexico and South America.

Contemporary Art Works by Theresa - Basil Leaf

The word 'basil' comes from the Greek meaning "king".  Basil is commonly used fresh in cooked recipes.  In general, it is added at the last moment, as cooking quickly destorys the flavor.  The fresh herb can be kept for a short time in plastic bags in the refrigerator, or for alonger period in the freezer, after being blanched quickly in boiling water.  The dried herb loses most of it flavor, and what little fllavor remains tastes very different.

The Cobra yoga pose is a back bend that stretches muscles on the front of the torso and strengthens your arms and shoulders.  Open your heart and roll the shoulders down to promote flexibility in this pose.  This pose also helps to open the chest and lungs.  

Aura:  Pink as a dominant color in the auric field indicates the presence of compassion and unconditional love.  This person may have a great capacity for caring and for empathizing with the needs of others.  These people often choose to work with those who are generally shunned by society.

Namaste!

Contemporary Art Works by Theresa - Calla Lily

Calla Lily

Watercolors
(on Arches Watercolor paper - 140 lb)

11x 14
2015


The Calla Lily is a most beautiful flower coming in many colors - whites, rich yellows, and yes, deep burgundy!  Native to South Africa where rainfall and temperatures are adequate.  It's preferable habitat is in streams and ponds or on the banks.  It is the national flower of the island nation of Saint Helena, where it grows widely.  Much to my surprise, it has become an important symbol of Irish republicanism and nationalism since 1926 to commemorate the fallen of Easter 1916 and onwards.

2015


A rose, is a rose, is a rose.  What more is there to say other than this is my most favorite flower!  I am fortunate to have a number of rose gardens.  Taken care of with lots of love - after all, a rose is all about love, peace, joy and friendship. 

Long a symbol of love and passion, the ancient Greeks and Romans associated roses with Aphrodite and Venus, whom we know as the great goddesses of love.  Men have used the rose for hundreds of years to convey messages without words.

Each color offers a distinct meaning:  red, the lover's rose, signifies enduring passion; white, humility and innocence; yellow expresses friendship and joy; pink is for gratitude, appreciation and admiration; orange symbolizes enthusiasm and desire; while white lilac and purple roses represent enchantment and love at first sight!

What color is your rose?

Fall Leaves (After Georgia O'Keeffe).  Georgia O'Keeffe's unique artistic vision made her one of the great American oil painters of the twentieth century.  The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico, holds the premier collection of her work.  This is where I fell in love with her work!
