CALLING ALL
Local Artists! By Heidi Wilson
n the desert out by Palm Springs, there is a type of flowering verbena which only emerges from its bed of sand when certain conditions are right. If it doesn’t rain a lot in November, – there will be no flowering purple verbena the following spring. As it turns out, those conditions are just right only about once every seven years, so when you see the sand covered with a blanket of gorgeous purple flowers you know it is a rare and special happening. Many artists can be a bit like the vverbena: – encased in their own world of creativity, and only emerging when they want to show their work or when the “conditions are just right.”
