"Savannah was well into the unfolding pageantry of a warm and leisurely spring. Camellias, jonquils and paper white had bloomed in December and January. Wisteria and redbuds had followed, and then in mid-March the azaleas burst forth in gigantic pillows of white, red and vermilion. White dogwood blossoms floated like clouds of confectioner’s sugar above the azaleas. The scent of honeysuckle, Confederate jasmine and the first magnolia blossoms were already beginning to perfume the air."
— Excerpt from the novel “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,” by John Berendt
Loosely inspired by the novel “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” and a subsequent trip to the gorgeous city of Savannah, Georgia—the setting of the story—to soak up all it’s southern charm and beauty, these paintings assemble gorgeous blooms found in the South—magnolias, dogwoods, hydrangea, jasmine, camellias, wisteria—and I had to add some sweet Georgia peaches, of course! All of the paintings are named after female characters in the book.
