Magnolia

Today September 2-007

This is the flower from the magnolia tree, I did not paint it, it came from one of the trees in my yard. This flower is the state flower of Mississippi. Has large, long, green leaves to frame the flower. The large soft like petals remind you of velvet, overlapping with a large, round, orange stem in the center. It will have from seven to nine or more petals, like this one. When the sunlight hits the leaves in the afternoon they looks like glass. You can find them all over the woods and up and down the highways in Mississippi. A beautiful tree and all artist in this state has either painted one or tried.

Jer 17: 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.fruit.
