Back to the trees!

There’s a new lightness in the woods these days. With February, comes longer days and we’ve been enjoying light until after 6 p.m. the last few days. And after a month of cloudy and overcast days in January, we’ve had a couple of days of blue skies and sunshine! It makes such a difference!

I’m preparing for a busy Spring season! In April, I’ll be one of the featured artists at artZ Gallery in Amery for a month-long exhibit along with talented plein air painter, Colleen Cosgrove. Also in April, I’ll be the featured artist at The Gallery in the Osceola Medical Center – this exhibit will be on display in the medical center from April through June. And the first weekend in May – May 1-3 – I’ll be celebrating my third Earth Arts Spring Tour with an exhibit in the beautifully renovated barn at the Amery Ale Works near Amery. As you can guess, I’m having such a good time painting and Paul is keeping busy framing!

This week’s painting, Riverbank Birch, 11” x 15” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, captures the morning light along an snowy riverbank. See more art on my website at www.wildriverarts.com
