Magnolias were always a special symbol for me and my mother.
Whenever stressful times arose, a light bulb would come on, 
and one of us would say to the other,
"Think Magnolias!"
....and we'd both break out into a smile and laugh, 
lightening our load. 
She was an MS patient who managed to always keep a sweet, 
loving attitude through some difficult times.

"Magnolia Glow" is an original oil painting, which is available as a fine art print in my Etsy store, artBJC. 

Now you know why magnolias are one of my
very favorite subjects for my paintings.
