It's been raining her lately but between rounds of rain we've had some very sunny afternoons. How perfect: it rains overnight and then it's sunny and warm the next day! Suddenly everything is turning green. Even in the mountains where the daytime temperatures don't rise to the heights we have at the coast, fields are turning green. If you look for them you'll find little yellow and gold wild flowers already popping up here and there. What a spring it's going to be!!

This landscape painter has been busy at the easel now that "prime time" is here. I have a new painting ready for you to look at and here it is below. Have a great weekend!

"Spring Begins", 9 by 12, oil on stretched canvas.
