I noticed this caper flower on the path to a secret beach. It was a warm late afternoon, and little L was walking behind me, laughing and singing Spanish nursery rhymes. When I look at this painting, I remember her voice as clearly as the flower.

Soft pinks, fresh greens and delicate wandering lines hold something of that afternoon. Beside your bed or in a favourite quiet corner, they bring a gentle freshness and a reminder to notice what is growing around you.

Perhaps you have a memory like this too: an ordinary moment with someone you love, which has become precious with time.
