| Wisteria at Magnolia Plantation, Charleston, SC |
Lavender garnish
courts Charlestonian gray,
droning bees, sanguine.
by Margaret Bednar, April 9, 2013
The painting below was painted by Viviane of "Les Peintures De Viviane" from one of my photos. I commented on how much I loved it, but she wasn't selling this one. She painted another just for me and gave it to me!! I had it framed and I just adore it.
Charleston gray refers to the local brick which originated in size and coloration early in the colonial period. "Charleston Gray" bricks come out a rusty brown when properly fired and are called gray due to the coloration of the clay used.
This is for Carp Diem Imagination #5, Wisteria a haiku meme.

This is also linked with Imaginary Garden with Real Toad's "Words Count with Mama Zen". The image I chose for inspiration is very similar to a wisteria bloom:

Gorgeous! I love wisteria.

The colors really come out here, even without the photo -- but it's nice to see the photo, too.
Photo and painting are so vivid, gorgeous .. as are your words.
PS .. I love Charleston!!!
So lush!!! That color and contrast is a feast for eyes both your image and the painting...what a lovely story about your painting, Margaret, thank you!
perfect wee verse for images ideal
Wow, that painting is gorgeous!
Wonderful about the painting, Margaret, and I can definitely see why the flower in the scientist's color sketch made you think of the wisteria.
I like your haiku, especially "droning bees" for reasons which I can't seem to articulate right now.

Pretty haiku, Margaret! Lovely imagery.
Such beauty in both word and image.
"droning bees, sanguine"
Just lovely, Margaret!
How enchanting :D
Nothing like an abundant wisteria, with its bumblebees and butterflies.
Fireblossom was being MOST gracious, she hates Haiku ya know.
Me? I love anything you write about.
You just made me realize how much I miss Atlanta's wisteria right now!!!
