Arches 140#CP
It's been a week of more conflicting weather - sunshine, rain, grey skies, cold, warm ... still, spring advances in visuals - blooming Bradford Pears, Ornamental cherries, Forsythia, Spirea, dandelions, chickweed, henbit, daffodils, and in Raleigh - the first tulips. I can't get into my garden yet .. and my seedlings now have grown as tall as my youngest grandson ..! This week promises warmer, steadier seasonal weather -- fingers crossed!
While spring takes its sweet time to settle in, I review my image collection and use spring and summer photos from last year to paint my dreams.
There is a small pond nearby that I pass frequently on trips to town. Two almost entwined trees seem to stand as sentinels by the roadside .. and as I drive by, I note seasonal changes through the various stages of vegetation along its edges.
Today, the trees remain leafless and the grasses a mix of dull umbers .. but last year -- this is what I saw ....
So I paint -- to remember - to honor -- to wish ....
What a marvelous tool for transformation ......
Have a great Sunday!
