There's this wondrous mini-season in the forest,where the understory has greened and is growing, but the trees are just sprouting. It's been tapping on my shoulder for a while, and this year I finally decided to try to say something about it: "Path into the New" 24 x 30 oil painting - in progress. |

Here's how far this piece got for the year. I really enjoy this cluster of trees during this short but bright time of year: "Family Tree in Spring" 12 x 16 oil painting - in progress. |

The season for this one is fairly short. and it got shortened even more by a week of rain. I sure love this bright drama though, and look forward to seeing it again next year: "Springtime Rushhhhh" 8 x 15 oil painting - in progress. |

The stream's flow was consistently high for this season, so I decided to do a sketch of this spot in that mood: "Aprilshhhhh" 6 x 11 oil painting. |

"Spring Chatter" 18 x 30 oil painting - in progress: I took this painting backwards 2 steps, and my forward steps for the lower water flow feel much better now. I'll hope to get to the middle section next year. |

This spot is the same tree pair as my summertime "Restful Waters" piece, and I was drawn to the peace that lives at this spot in the spring also: "Restful Spring"12 x 16 oil painting - in progress. |

This painting was inspired by a golden moment of our daughter watching my mother-in-law repair a homemade stuffy, or "peluche," that was a gift. We were visiting the family village in the north of Spain, where the kitchen was not built on a rectangle: "Surgery" 16 x 20 oil painting. |
