I know those of us on the West Coast don't fully understand how it feels when you see the first flowers poking up from bare dirt after a long winter, since our plum trees bloom in January, but I can try to imagine it.
Of course, Libby sent images of flowers this week.
In the past I've thought about doing a series of 36 flowers because they are SO HARD to make into interesting paintings.
So, here is the first!
Libby was a little disappointed in this one, I think. This is the first week I didn't choose the image she was secretly hoping I would. I felt this was the hardest image to work with so far—and that's good!
I really enjoy pushing myself. I feel that has been the greatest reward of this project so far—I am painting images I never would choose on my own!

Flowers (you can tell I don't know what they are, crocuses? snow drops?)
