Spring at the Stream

The weather is beginning to change and the buds are opening on the pussy willow bushes and the willows. The maples have a sheen of green and today, I think, the leaves will open. I love the spring time! This rushing stream was done from a photo because, even though the weather is changing, it is just not convenient to go out to paint on location. We are busy working in the garden, cutting the grass, and getting the yard ready for summer. Maybe soon, very soon, I can paint on location, in the woods, and listen to the forest awakening. This is done on a 16x20 canvas.
