Spring Thaw ©

This past weekend, friends and I went to a park just outside of Harvard, IL to paint.  It was fun watching the geese land on the ice…..in fact, it was even more fun listening to my friend Marybeth laugh when they did!!  I have entitled this small masterpiece, “Spring Thaw”, even though here in Illinois we wonder if spring will ever arrive this year.

This is the first plein air piece of the year.  I painted with a friend in her back yard.  It was fabulous.....the birds were singing, squirrels were running around and I was in heaven painting outside!!!

It was spring in Minnesota and the calm waters of this small lake drew my attention.  The deep blue water against the fading dried underbrush, leads the viewer's attention to the center of my small masterpiece.
