Daddy (Oil on Canvas Portrait by Juliane Porter) Click Image for a Better, Larger View
He’s my hero. And an award winning NASA physicist. A phenomenal pianist AND clarinetist. He did handsprings in the backyard with me when I was a teenager. He knows how to ballroom dance. He’s elegant & graceful. Kind and philosophical. He’s even more handsome than I’ve been able to capture- (as a young man, a spitting image of Penn Badgley). He’s incredibly witty and fun.
And I love him with all my heart.
This painting is about mood. About the love and energy my father exudes. It's a quick gestural piece. I'll be doing a large head-to-toe portrait of him next.
"Corn plants are impossible to kill," Dale, the garden center guy, told me yesterday. He hadn't seen mine. Two of its three stalks are now leafless, bringing me to the garden center for a replacement. Sorry Corn Plant 🙁
But all's well that end's well.
Having received Dale's top 5 water & fertilizer tips, I've since clipped Corn Plant's (CP) remaining dead brown leaves and found him a flattering new home in back of a tall chair. We truly feel as though he's going to make a full recovery. And as if that's not fabulous enough, it does get better. A brand-healthy-new Parlor Palm now sits proudly in CP's old corner. I'm pleased as punch. Here's to hoping Dale's plant-savvy has rubbed off on me.
Now I certainly hope my challenges do not in any way dissuade you from inviting a plant into your own home. While they do require some specific care, the exciting memories and good times they add to your life are priceless. (lol)
In fact, there are several ways I enjoy bringing a touch of the wild into my home, not only via rare tropicals (jk) like CP, but with furry beasts and flying friends too. Perhaps the reason we're so attracted to nature and animals is they're perpetually authentic, unlike us humans, forever cloaked in the drama of our personalities.
Do you have some favorites also? I'd love to hear about them.
Parlor Palm. Found the little butterflies hanging from the plants in a flower shop in Budapest.
Plants like friends too
No, not a stuffed bird, just a really good replication

Countless times have I admired my sweet kitten enviously wondering, "How do you wake up every single day looking so effortlessly glossy and perfect?"
