Snowdrops

I picked these from the small clump in my backyard and stole a little time from my portrait painting to record these intrepid harbingers of spring.

Collection of the artist

I painted Sam earlier this year in what is a characteristic pose for him. Sam is 19 years old.

I'm working on a portrait right now, so my postings may be a little less frequent. On the other hand, I do hope to document some of the signs of spring emerging in the garden. Our first crocus bloomed today and we have snowdrops in the backyard. Spring at last.

Green-Edged Mussel Shells After Dinner

oil on stretched canvas 6" x 8"

I love to look at iridescent mussel shells. It seems a shame to throw away something so gorgeous.

Orchid Stem

oil on stretched canvas, 5" x 7"

Somehow, the purchased exotic flowers of winter never have the same appeal as the short-lived flowers of spring. I can hardly wait for the garden to come back to life. The sun is out and the snow is melting. We turned the clocks forward today--three weeks earlier than ever before. As a late riser, I welcome the change.
