Winters here in the Midwest can be long and dreary. Even though we flew to warmer weather for a few weeks, returning home to cold, snow, ice and grey skies---in addition to all that is going on in the world--was depressing. It's funny to think that a bunch of tulips can lift your spirits, giving you the promise of Spring and flowers growing in our own yards. I can hardly wait.
Artists all over the world are painting sunflowers, which is Ukraine's national flower. While I have not yet painted sunflowers for Ukraine, I will hope for now that my tulips will represent hope for peace and the end of this savage destruction.
