Wisteria in Andalucia, Spain


At a cold spring vacation we had rented a house in Spain with this grandiose and rich blooming Wisteria. I tried to draw it, to understand this amazing pant and it's flowers and failed with every attempt not able to catch the complex structures and colours of the plant.

Finally at the end of the vacation I put the drawing board aside and just took the most bright watercolour and painted from memory and within a time limit. The unconscious is often better than the frightened conscious mind that want to be perfect and looses itself.
