Is it spring yet where you are?





Waiting for spring to really start so that I can get my plants sorted out.  We've had some strange weather...last weekend it was 23° warm enough for some people to go to the beach.
Two days later it was 4° with snow on the mountains so the woodburner had to go back on!

Thats very lovely painting, such sweet soft colours and very spring like. The weather has been very strange here too, very cold for this time of the year... I think we all are ready for spring now. Soon!!!

Lovely terracotta pots, we have headed into Autumn here but the weather too is topsy turvy, incredibly hot or bordering on too cold.

80 degrees F in L.A. today...but 53 one day last week. My ranunculi came up, froze, turned brown, came up again.

Beautiful colours on these pots: they do speak "Spring" !.
We are sharing the same ups and downs over here in South Brittany with frequent "March" showers that prevent me from sketching outside... I'm fed up with that weather !!

I appreciate art that marries soft and hard textures you always do it so seamlessly well

Very beautiful! You have wonderful control with your watercolors - the rims, shadows, splashes - I am especially enamored of the leaves in the last two posts and the positive and negative spaces you have left including that wonderful arch and the sense of light from behind. What more can I say? It's excellent!

Beautifully drawn! Love the natural colors, and the feeling of people taking good care of their plants, nurturing them like their own :)
