Angel Wing Begonias

A simple watercolor painting

of a humble begonia scion,

an understated expression
of admiration and gratitude

for a resilient family
devoted to cultural achievement,
art and education.

Many thanks and much love to the Lee-Swanek family, of the Lee Piano Studio in New Milford, Connecticut.

Super kudos to my friends
who've been supplying their communities
with home sewn masks.
Roxane and Lorelai Lee
of Lee Piano Studios in New Milford
and Barb Cottingham, graphic designer in Newtown.

Such happy colors and patterns!

Using Dad's old t-shirts and
leftover baby quilt material,
they've created potent talismans -
masks imbued with love.
