Spring is Here

At 5:37am EDT this morning we reached the vernal equinox and spring officially began.  Last year the equinox was on the 19th of March at 11:48pm, the earliest in 124 years.  Our galanthus (snowdrops)  and crocus are out, the daffodils are at the edge of blooming.

 I thought I'd get in the spring spirit by doing some little paintings.  I had a packet of three plain wood frames from Ikea, and conveniently, a packet of three canvasboard panels from the Dollar Tree of the same size, 4 x 6 inches. After painting on a ground coat, I sketched on our three spring flowers with a white pencil, then did quick, loose paintings in acrylic.  They're temporarily sitting on our mantel.
