April Sunshine

The temperatures don’t indicate that spring is here, but the sunshine and length of days certainly do! As an avid gardener, I’m so grateful for the increasing light and the slightly warmer days. While I can’t plant anything for about another month (and will the garden centers be open then?!), I’m happy to be out cleaning up the yard, burning brush, fixing the stone wall damaged in last year’s storm, and moving spring-blooming plants to a new garden in the front yard. It is so energizing to be out in the fresh air!

This week’s painting reminds me of the rush of spring – Foggy Hollow, 9” x 12” celebrates the lifting of morning fog over blue-shadowed hills and the sounds of a rushing river along an ancient stone wall.
