Flowers

Violets monoprint (C) MJB

I can not believe it! The pansies I planted last year in the window boxes have come back! I am looking forward to what this spring will offer in the way of flowers. I am itching to paint them! The violets, also, are blooming indoors!

The Difference A Week Makes

April, the fascinating month of April. I am sure you have been, as I have, captivated by the changes Mother Nature is making! I have always been drawn to the orchards in spring. Part of my love of living on a farm growing up always comes back to me when I see the orchards coming alive again!

The color, the contrast, texture and the one things I can not paint, the way it all smells. Somehow, painting orchards and making them visually alive also brings back all the memories I have of all my senses. May you enjoy Mother Nature's wonders as she blooms!
