Painting my way into spring

Hi guys! It's been a while! The kids are back to school after a 2 weeks holiday, and it feels like spring already!

Yesterday was one of those wonderful "new beginnings" kind of days. It was monday and, although I do get Garfield's point, I really love mondays, the sense of a brand new week full of new possibilities... The sky was bright blue and the air was warm for the first time of the year, and as I was at the playground with the kids after school, a huge gathering of cranes came circling above us before flying off to a nearby lake. It was such a magical sight!

It all really felt like springtime, which put me in a very "floral frenzy" mood. So I thought I'd share some of the fun with you!

Here is what my kitchen table looks like in full "artist studio" mode! I started 2 new floral paintings:

So tell me, do you get "flower fever" too?
