Bloom in Winter

7"x5" Oil on canvasboard
Received bulbs in a glass from my family when I had surgery Jan. 14th. They started blooming 2 days ago. I'm lovin the light from our South window shining on them...........a splash of color in the dead of winter........makes me anxious for springtime. (Having our outdoor temperature in the Teens doesn't help.) IT'S COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gearing up for this years Art Festivals and Fine Art Shows. Most of the landscapes I create have drama going on in the sky. Mother nature can really put on a show at times. This painting was inspired by viewing a sunset one evening close to where I live.
