I absolutely love to sit on my couch, look out the windows and see that spring has arrived.  My house is surrounded by trees and the new leaves are a light green color, there are some flowering trees as well. The new growth is pushing back the winters bare branches in a couple of weeks all the trees will be full of leaves.  

It does seem that overnight the flowers have popped up and the trees are showing us the many shades of greens. The days are getting longer, the temperatures are changing rapidly from cool to warm and then back again.  Even though we have a couple of weeks until the official day of Spring, there is little doubt it's on the way.  Nature has a way of its own, behind the scenes all the preparations are happening and then boom it shows off all at once.

To me, my art is the same behind the scenes, no one sees the layer upon layer of colors, marks and missteps that I take. Always wondering if I will know when its complete or will I keep asking "what if".   There some areas I love and others that just don't work for me right now. And I keep going, laying the groundwork, making the preparations so that I can complete and share it with the world. 

It takes a lot of allowing and being in the flow to create something less like others and more like what represents my own story. Borrowing from what I learned before and bringing forth only that which serves me now. Building on the good parts and painting over the others.  Nature, has it figured out, doing its own thing no matter what the weatherman, that furry little critter in Pennsylvania predicts or what is going on in our own life. Nothing can stop the movement forward through sorrow, heartbreaks, celebrations of life and love lost. We keep marching forward.

I hope that you find the joy and wonder in the Spring season of your life. 

Do you love spring as much as I do?  What is your favorite season?

Thank you for being here.
