Painting in Spring

| Park at Asnieres in Spring 1887 Vincent Van Gogh 1853 ~ 1890 oil on canvas ~ wikiart.org |
For painting, as a child I loved the subject of spring the most. The joyful feeling of so many colorful flowers out of winter's white was magic to me.
If you can get out and about, then consider taking pictures of the flowers and trees of spring.
Paint your favorite image of spring.
I saw my first Robin the other day, and he sat on a tree stump, and didn't fly away as I got in my car. It was such a nice surprise, and I love these special birds. I can imagine as an artist, that Spring would be the most vivid season to paint.

Sheri,
DeleteThat's wonderful for the robin not to fly away.
Van Gogh makes it look easy…not!
ReplyDeleteMarie,
DeleteHis paintings do look like a lot of fun.
I always enjoy seeing the Robins in Spring, our European ones are slightly different to yours.

Jan,
DeleteYour UK robins are adorable! They look like right out of a story book illustration, gorgeous birds.
ooooh - that painting, at first glance, looked like embroidery!
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
ReplyDeleteIt does have that look. No wonder I keep staring at it.
