Leaving South Carolina this weekend, I feel like I've left Spring behind. As I drove through that state, I saw Bradford pears, Saucer Magnolias, Azaleas, various cherry trees -- all in vivid bloom.
At home, clearly two gardening zones away, my garden was still hibernating. Still, with temperatures in the balmy 60sF, I found that the rosemary was in beautifiul blue flower, a bit more of the Daphne had opened (and was INCREDIBLY fragrant), and the spirea was just opened.
Spring IS coming!

I love the color and detail in this one and the brilliant light you always seem to capture so well. You're so good at stopping before it's overworked.
Just love all the colors in the vase---perfect use of the watercolor medium! This is luminous and springlike, just as you'd hoped.
I agree - the vase is just beautifully done. Very nice painting.
Wow, this is amazing. The vase is especially well done with the reflections. You should be really proud of this one.
Lin, this is a really great painting -- what a great arrangement!
These happen to be my favorite colors (at least for today). The shadow is as pretty as the base, and I like the colors you used to show the reflection. Nice.
Oh I love the shadowing and shading in this Lin. Just gorgeous!
Oh my goodness, it is gorgeous Lin!!! The reflection, the colors, the compostion! Great!!
Your floral paintings are so pretty and so well done. The colors are really vibrant and look like spring!
Beautiful! Love the purple shadow! And I love how you've been using those really deep values recently!
Oh! Bother! Just had to re-write this 'cos of typos! - sorry! I love your purple shadows and the pallette you have chosen for the composition.
Jules.
Umm, so nicely shaded on both vase and around it. You seem to be in a "purple" mood this spring!!! It looks good in all your paintings.
Hugs,
Lorraine
