I got poetic and thought that a poem would better describe how I feel about the Oliver area in the spring time. It was composed in haste, but I think it tells, what I wish to say.
You awake, bathed in fresh morning dew
As the sky, shines down, white, yellow and blue
Blossoms glitter, like an open chest of treasure
And the birds sing, in harmony with pleasure
The wind walks, the grass across the meadow
Wildflowers beckon, sunshine to the shadow
Butterflies flutter, amongst bees delivering nectar,
Yes, South Okanagan, I’ll love you forever.
Happiness is expressed everywhere. We seem to wake up each day with enriched energy, as every day passes and we celebrate life in this Garden of Eden we live in.
The Oliver Art Gallery will celebrate the month of May with an array of paintings, showing this utopia. The theme is flowers, presented in a variety of ways: wildflowers, cut flowers in a vase, flower pots and flower beds and perhaps more.
Come and celebrate spring with us.
The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11 am to 4 pm at 6046 Main Street.
Look forward to next month’s theme.
In June we will display various paintings showing music and/or the theme of dance.
