After moving from Texas to Oklahoma, I didn't paint for six months. One reason was the chaos of the move, unpacking, and settling in. Another was that I started a new job and was traveling for work. But the biggest reason was that I simply needed a break. When I finally started painting again, I painted this series of flowers. The idea was sparked by a book I was reading, and that's where the series name comes from. I guess that during the fallow time I was planting seeds and waiting for them to bloom.
