Magnolia (Magnolia liliiflora)
For my 100 Flowers Project - 2024
I have been watching this Magnolia tree in bud for the last week or so. I noticed yesterday one bloom had opened.
Painting, acrylic on canvas 16 x 20 inches
Inspired by the paintings of Mr. Edward Hopper, “Open till late” is a painting within a series that I started in the name of “Edward Hopper Project”. My intention is to study how this great American Painter captured the melancholic aesthetics derived from some common urban scenes of loneliness and isolation that we may encounter everywhere any day of the week if we care to look for them. To me, these scenes painted by Mr Hopper are, for want of a better phrase, “achingly beautiful”. Incidenntally, during the painting of this, the famous Simon & Garfunkel song "The sound of silence" keeps coming into my head.
I hope this painting delivers a similar narrative to viewers.

It's Friday and the stage is yours 😎
Would this be your worst nightmare or
would you be ready for your first stand-up set...
maybe a joke, or poetry, or a favorite song for summer ?
“Don't be afraid to be confused. Try to remain permanently confused. Anything is possible. Stay open, forever, so open it hurts, and then open up some more, until the day you die, world without end, amen.”
― George Saunders, The Braindead Megaphone

I gave some meat to Mr Magpie, and he in turn gave it to one of his fledglings, before he flew away, leaving me to take care of his family.
The establishment is owned by Mr. JD Russel, a distinguished gentleman with rugged good looks and dark hair. It was rumored that he had once stood alongside the President during the famed charge up San Juan Hill, a tale that added to his allure. Whenever he was not engaged in assisting patrons, he took pleasure in offering a complimentary piece of hard candy from his extensive display.
This day, as I approached the entrance, he could be seen diligently sweeping the walkway. Upon noticing my presence, his face brightened with a warm and cordial smile as he stepped forward to hold the door open. “Good afternoon, Miss MacKenna. A truly splendid day, is it not?” he inquired graciously. I responded with a smile, expressed my thanks, and offered a playful wink. “Indeed, Mr. Russel, it is a most delightful day,” I replied.
