Isolation Series: Violet Showers

"Violet Showers"
11x14 mixed media on paper

On a particularly hot day, my husband and I sat down to enjoy the backyard shade. We had just watered the gardens so all the green plants were sparkling and dripping with water drops.  A trembling from within the white violets caught our eyes. A wren hopped out, shaking itself with water drops, then hopped back in to the plant where more foliage trembling occurred. This went on for a little while. We looked at each other and remarked: “How innovative!” I believe we just discovered when it comes to bathing; wrens prefer showers under the flowers!
