A droopy trillium flower, a few non-flowering False Lily-of-the-Valley plants, some sword ferns &#8211; but I liked the idea of a big shaft of bright sun illuminating a lush springtime old-growth forest. I think I need to work on this just a bit more, but I&#8217;m close to getting there. It may be a tad over the top with details, but I couldn&#8217;t help but to add a calypso orchid, just because it&#8217;s my favorite forest flower &#8211; and a Pacific wren, one of my favorite forest birds. These little guys are only about 3 inches long, yet sing an astoundingly-loud sizzling song that seems to go on forever. The poor little bird had its name changed a few years ago when some new genetic testing reveled the birds here on the West Coast are different than the eastern birds. No respect!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Trillium-2x4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Trillium-2x4-600x281.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2348\" title=\"Trillium-2x4\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the original painting, NOT a print.
