April's Flowers



April in Alberta. What could be browner? And you know how I feel about brown!! Isn't April supposed to feel hopeful? No snow, long days, almost warm weather, bright blue skies and yet...it's gray and gritty. In the Woodbend natural area in April, all I found to paint was the field you saw several blogs back. Then I looked through the photos I took that day hoping I'd find something a little more inspiring!

It took some hunting but I managed to find some colour, these pretty pussywillows. Each one that was in full bloom looked like a miniature flower bed.

This is the paintng I am donating to "The Cause"- to keep the Woodbend natural area from being turned into a gravel pit.

I call this April's Flowers, 5x12, Oil on canvas
