Charlotte’s Lupine Field

Charlotte planted daffodils, lupine and wildflowers and had a natural lawn, evolving in bloom from spring through fall. Last summer (2023) she was staying with family due to her declining health. I went up to her house (just up the hill from mine) and painted her lupine in June over several days. Shortly afterward I learned that she died.

Charlotte’s legacy of flowers continue to bloom throughout this valley, and I’m grateful to have known her. Rest in peace, Charlotte.
