As sure as the sun rises 100 times, the seasons change. My favorite season is usually the one approaching, but it’s definitely spring. Symbolically, spring is a new start, a fresh slate. The sky seems clearer, the naked trees cover their branches, seeds poke up from the warming earth and flowers brighten our days.
I started this 24×24 painting last month before the snow fell. It kept me company as we hunkered down, providing optimism and a creative outlet. There’s still more winter on the calendar, but I’m hoping this piece will tide us over until we need antihistamines.
