This painting by Godfrey River, which he painted in 1903 of himself and his later wife, is one of my favorites.I have a print of it hanging my my dinning room. The colours of the flowers and that umbrella are amazing.
We have a Jacaranda tree in our front yard. It is bigger than this one - probably twice the size of our house. Every storm season Tom and I pray it won't fall on the house.
If we renovate our house this year it will be cut down to make way for the driveway. I will miss the beauty of the tree but not the fallen leaves that create a purple mush underfoot in Spring.

Purple mush ... that is just so accurate :)
I will miss its beauty too

If you don't want it anymore can I have it?
Although the purple mush after flowering is a bit ickky. But then I like the purple carpet under the tree effect from a distance. - Never can make up my mind about anything.
Beautiful painting!
I LOVE Jacaranda Trees!! CC's school is on a street called Jacaranda Street, you can imagine why! It is breath taking during spring time!
Great picture. Sorry your lovely tree might go :(
I've never heard of such a tree! Do you have photos of it?
