Jasmine






Today's work with Wallace Stevens' poem "Jasmine's Beautiful Thoughts Underneath the Willow". I find somehow that I have read many poems and been unable to connect any images with them. Unfortunately, my knowledge of botany is limited. Crafting these ink drawings of the corresponding flowers brings new depth to the poems for me.

Enjoy also, these versions of a traditional Chinese song about the Jasmine flower:
Jasmine Flower Song & Mo Li Hua- The Jasmine Flower Song.
