Almost Spring
20x16,oil/canvas
New England weather is certainly changeable especially now at the end of winter with spring just a few weeks away. Four days ago we had a blizzard and then temperatures shot up into the 50's and 60's. Yesterday was a plein air painters dream a 60 degree day in February with some snow still left in the shadowy places and where the plow has piled it up. The day was clear and the sun bright, enhancing all the color that is beginning to show in the landscape, life is renewing itself again. That is a reassuring and joyful thought.
