I've thought about this piece for a while and decided to get it going this year. It's a short season, about 3 weeks, so I'll be at this one for a few years probably: "Path into the New" 24 x 30 oil painting - in progress.  
 

Here's a new sketch just started. I'm painting as briskly as I can because the season for it will be short. The leaves are growing and showing hints of shading the water, but I love this bright drama: "Springtime Rushhhhh" 8 x 15 oil painting - in progress.

This year's water flow was much higher, so I could only push this version forward by about an inch: "Marchshhhhh" 12.5 x 21 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.
