This show was conceived on a bright spring morning, driving along Ridge Road and Skiff Street in Hamden and North Haven. I don't thank I've ever seen so much forsythia in full bloom—in the early morning sunlight—plus daffodils, tulip magnolia trees, and cherry blossoms. I feel like the yellow is still seared onto my eyeballs.
