The reference for this photo was shared on a painting course by Esperanza Arato for other's to paint in the group. The photo is of her sister Roselyn's garden. It was a very busy and complicated photo therefore a challenge to add and delete elements as I saw fit. Roselyn's garden is a cornucopia of shapes, sizes and colours, it must be truly beautiful to enjoy it personally.

Waiting For Spring - oil painting

Waiting for Spring

10.5" x 13" Oil on birch board

This little ceramic frog in the melting snow is from a gift calendar (April 2012) my friend Sue made for me of her artful photographs. I had so much fun painting this little guy as he seemed a little hopeful and tired at the same time, a true "end of winter" feeling. We often get a big snowfall in Calgary after our tulips have graced our gardens.
