Remembering the Lupine Lady, acrylic on canvas, 54x18 inches, $1950 • This is is my second painting based on the gorgeous day we found this endless meadow filled lupine as far as the eye can see. That day has stayed vivid in my mind, and got me thinking of a picture book, "Miss Rumphius," that I loved reading to my children when they were young. When she was a young girl, Miss Rumphius' grandfather told her that her dreams of traveling the world and eventually settling by the sea were all well and good but she must also do something to make the world more beautiful. As an old woman, after working as a librarian and traveling exotic places after her retirement (very much like my own great aunt Kitty) she realized that the lupine growing outside her window was the beautiful thing she could spread in the world. So she did. And she came to be known as “The Lupine Lady.”
