Jacaranda tree

Seldom do we notice nature around us, in the hustle-bustle of life. But sometimes nature just forces us to take our eyes off that cellphone and look at her. A jacaranda tree in the campus has been grabbing my attention everyday, with its almost leafless branches full of lovely lavender flowers. The flowers give such a refreshing view in the midst of all the concrete and glass. Here it is on a 14' X 18' canvas, just as soon as I finished painting. The heavy texture of the oil comes with using palette knives. Now everytime you see a jacaranda in full bloom, think of me!
