Spring inspires

Delicate leaves and flowers attract our deer so I haven't had a nice Bleeding Hearts bush for decades. I started this painting when I had these flowers to view. It was unfinished for years but completed it this recently. Winter and bad weather are the best times to pull out older work.

Cherry Blossom Weekend 2026

Rained out on Saturday, Sunday was a brilliant fresh air day for painting among cherry blossoms and the crowds who gathered to celebrate the trees. So beautiful that several of us returned on Monday.

Feature at Erie County Botanical Gardens

These 3 florals were selected for display at a new event, a free open house in the evening for the community. A great way for people to visit the Botanical Gardens without paying admission. There was a great exhibition in Arcangel Gallery to complement the artwork displayed in some of the greenhouses.
