It isn't officially spring for me until the weeping cheery is in full bloom and the wild veronica are carpeting the yard. I think this is as close to paradise as it gets.
The weeping cherry was not completely out on the day I painted this but it is in all its glory now. It bloomed right on schedule for my mother's birthday April 15th. This year I decided to look up into the tree and was richly rewarded as I never noticed how beautiful the buds are before. Here is last year's painting. SOLD
