Watercolor painting by Rose Ganucheau
Wisteria thrives in the wild in coastal Carolina. Huge rope-like vines coil around the pine trees on their journey to the tops of the branches. You don't even notice as you drive by day after day, until one day the whole tree is a riot of dangling grape-like clusters of lavender flowers. In this painting, I was trying to capture the feel of that tangled riot of color as well as the soft muted shades of green.
