Happy Mother's Day - Lily of the Valley
The American Lily of the Valley is one of the loveliest spring wildflowers but you may have to search for them in the spring as they like shade and tend to grow beneath taller plants. An irish nickname for these lovely flowers is the "Fairy Ladder," and it is irish folklore that fairies drank from the cups. Over time, the Lily of the Valley came to symbolize the Ladder to Heaven or Ascension Ladder but many still call it the Fairy Ladder.

Thank you to the Administrators of th...

I love being outdoors and seeing the beauty of nature during all seasons. I love color and the great way you feel when colors come together in just the right way. This is the inspiration for my painting and most of my work depicts scenes from nature. I believe in lifelong learning and love the painting process where you never stop learning and discovering new things. I hope you enjoy my paintings!
