remains of the day

After being in Spring (Vancouver was resplendent with new growth-forsythia, daffodils, flowering trees)-I was not thrilled about returning to our Ontario winter. 

 Needless to say it was a pleasant surprise to be greeted with a warm sun melting the mounds of snow-things were starting to thaw.

 

 

It felt great to find my paints after going without for ten days. The spring warmth was enough for me to stand outside on the front porch and make a little painting –a wee promise.

Wandering

I am currently in Vancouver visiting my daughter-and relishing the early Spring colours-no white!

Wandering the city streets is invigorating and inspiring, and I love encountering environmental art.
