Virginia, The Legend of Robert Redd
Lilac and Virginia Blue Sky
Exhausted from weeks spent gallivanting about Europe with all the usual suspects, I returned home thrilled to find my favorite lilac tree had blossomed in my absence. I had barely unpacked my bags when I realized what I truly needed was relaxation after the day’s journey. From my vantage point on the veranda, I realized the only place I belonged at that moment was lying outside against that wonderful tree and looking up at Virginia’s brilliant sky. Within moments, I had found sanctuary in that very spot. Lulled to sleep by the fragrant blooms, I dreamt of women beneath a cloudless, blue sky. Tomorrow would bring another adventure- perhaps an angling trip on a backcountry river or a round of shooting- but today, I reveled in the comforting colors of home.
Virginia Blue Sky
The timeless color of Virginia Sky Blue was inspired by the color of the skies in Redd’s native, home state. Although his travels brought him to the ends of the earth, Virginia would always remain Redd’s home and dear to his heart. Redd filled the majority of his days with a great deal of carousing and wild escapades. However, the calming influence of the blue sky at home was a constant source of bliss, rejuvenating his spirit after even the most rowdy of evenings.
