Spring is near!

"Spring Tulip Study" 5x7 Mixed Media

I want to send this out to Jill Randall as a big thank you today! She helped this artist to go back into the studio and pick up paints after a three month hiatus! This morning I pulled up my blog to catch up on what the rest of you have been doing. Let me say, I am always impressed by the quality and amount of work out there. One of blue bonnets caught my eye ... I really liked the light coming over the hill. She spoke of a great day painting with her friend. I left her a simple comment. She is so kind...she took time to reach out to me with suggestions out of kindness. After replying back in gratitude, I created this little study in record time. While it's not something I'm especially proud of, it was so fun. I used Watercolor crayons, acrylic ink and paints. I love the ruffled tulips! My mind is full of visions. I have been painting in my head...trying to realize just how to put those visions on canvas. Hopefully, my art will evolve into something that speaks to my soul.
