Noticing Spring

I can't help it, I just have to paint the beauty of the current season!  Spring has been lovely this year - a bit late, but it was worth the waiting.  The cool weather also extended the time to enjoy the display that God sends our way year after year.

I just finished painting the irises that bloom at the entrance to our home.  I was waiting and waiting for them to blossom and when they did, they were spectacular.  They are established and happy after being transplanted 2 - 3 years ago.  

The redbuds in the Indiana woodlands almost exchanged their rosy blossoms for their green leaves before I got up early one morning to find a spot to paint them plein air.  I found a perfect location, off the beaten path, set up my easel and painted for an hour.  It was kind of a secluded area, and after a bit, I decided to take photos, pack up and finish the painting in studio.   I'm so glad I took the time to catch those blossoms because the next day the trees were changing to a beautiful spring green.
