Spring Inspired Paintings
I love all seasons for different reasons, but Spring is rather special to me. Watching the emerging buds on the trees and the garden slowly wake up from a long winter’s sleep is a yearly thrill. The air grows warmer, the gentle chorus of birds returns to the yard, and the grass turns a rich green, bringing a fresh sense of hope and renewal.

This piece was inspired from a photo I took at a rest stop in British Columbia when I was on a road trip. It was a peaceful stop and the sky seemed double in size as it reflected in the lake. The flowers were scattered everywhere, adding just enough colour.
