"Spanish Daggers" was a term given to the yucca plant in the early days. This was originally intended to be an underpainting for additional layers, but became an impressionist painting as the colors emerged. The story behind this painting lies in the region of Possum Kingdom Lake which endured devastating wildfires last year. The redder trees in the background behind the yucca were burned-out trees that were still standing as ghostly epitaphs. It is amazing to witness the renewal process of Mother Nature. Note the new growth of yellow wildflowers, reinforcing the phrase, "beauty for ashes."
