FIRST SIGN OF SPRING 2011

In Merion Park these beauties are lighting up the banks of the stream allready.  Here is a link to last year's version of the same subject. (scroll down to March 17th)  You'll note quite a difference in style between the two paintings.  I "stumbled" upon this link to Japanese posters in the 20's and 30's and tried to keep that elegant line in mind while painting this one.  Check out STUMBLE if you like to surf the net but don't want to waste too much time.  They select things that you might like based on some computer digging that is probably better not thought about.  Every once in a while I get an email from them that is packed with items I really like, so they do a good job.

SNOWING - CARRIAGE HOUSE

Very limited values when it is snowing, but so soft and luscious.

BIG WHITE HOUSE

This painting was done between snows.  It almost looks like spring.  Next week snow, snow and more snow. (Next week is really this week as the paintings have to dry in order to be scanned into the blog)

SHADES OF LACE

I liked all the shades of color the sun created through this lace that I got in Amsterdam many years ago.

ORCHIDS AND SNOW

This view is out my kitchen window.
