Early Spring

Early Spring, oil on gessobord, 6x6"

The weather is like none other this year. Call it what you will, but it's not normal. These jonquils sprouted quickly and bloomed in February. Regardless of time of year, they are always beautiful, and welcoming...a definite ushering in of spring.

Fallen

Fallen, Oil on gessobord, 6x6 inches

Time for a closeup, of Fall that is.  I was given two little burning bush leaves a few days ago and I sat them on my nightstand to admire. As the trees started losing their leaves during the rapid stage, I took a closer look and decided they were an appropriate subject matter. I tried to convey the individuality and differences of the leaves even though they came from the same bush.   I don't do too many still life, but this was definitely a nice change.
