In Winter ...

January 9, 2014

IN WINTER ... one can't help but think of spring .... at least that's how it is for me ....  sitting beneath a cherry tree when it's at the fullness of bloom and there's an alluring cobalt blue sky showing through the branches I am instantly transported to a place of wonder ....  there is something about this combination that has always made me want to paint it ... for years this combination has alluded me .... last year was different however ... the blossom and the blue sky arrived together .... so one day I found myself sitting beneath this silent spectacle visually breathing it all in ... it was a feast and made me dizzy ...  made me feel like a child again ... to be viewing the world once again from this perspective .... I started a series of acrylic paintings following this encounter .... Blossom No. 1 is an outcome of that day!
