Cherry trees in blossom, a first greeting of Spring. I wish the blooms would last longer!!

I had fun doing this small work during the blooming of forsythia in New England. I particularly love that flowing plant as it cheers us all up after a long winter!

I have painted this scene three times. I got very interested in the abstract shapes that are reflected in the water!

This is Veteran's Park field and surrounding landscape.

I enjoyed working on this slightly softer painting, letting the flowers be gentle and tender.

I have done this theme three times as I loved playing with the colors and shapes.

I enjoy doing these "thousand flowers" tapestry-like paintings. They allow lots of room for considered composition, color play and delight.

This little Ridgefield water trough was designed to water horses and there is a little lower area for dogs to quench their thirst, too. It was presented to the town by Life Magazine founder John Ames Mitchell who lived on West Lane.

This is a lily from the NY Botanical Garden's lily pond.

This painting has a fun mood featuring the ever interesting Nigella flower.

I do love Queen Anne's Lace; here they rule the field!

This is a Nigella flower inspired piece. I just love their crazy middles!!

This is the third Nigella painting. I am still in love with this flower and all it offers as inspiration for a dynamic and intriguing painting.

I am inspired by Nigella in this painting; I love the stick-like leaves and whirling petals and the stamens that shoot out like little floral fireworks.

I am in love with and inspired by the flower Nigella. I love their showy stamens and stick-like leaves. So much fun to do this painting!

This from Wikipedia:
"Millefleur, ... French for a thousand flowers, refers to a background style of many different small flowers and plants, usually shown on a green ground, as though growing in grass." I have done a few of these and love making the small leaves and flowers collectively creating a showy carpet of shape and color.

These flowers are moving, rotating, dancing in space creating their own unique, small universe.

This is the first painting done of the second set of Merritt Parkway paintings, so I was indeed, "On the Road Again." While this may be about many things, it's also about continuity, perseverance, connectivity and our path.
