New Beginnings
Spring is on the way and with it comes new beginnings. New painting ideas, new shows and competitions, galleries reopening after being closed for the winter season and many, many new painting opportunities. Anticipation, joy and feelings of renewal fill us all as we enter this new season of hope.The painting shown here captures the spirit of Spring and is one of a series on the changing seasons and birds that I am currently working on. Each will be small enough to hang in this grouping of four once all are complete - yet certainly strong enough to "stand" alone.

I started this series especially for the reopening of a wonderful gallery that I show in each year during the summer. This particular gallery - The Denise Oliver Gallery in Harrison, ID. - sits beautifully on the banks of Lake Coeur d'Alene and will be the perfect setting to show these pastel avian pieces.
