Forsythia by the Barn

Forsythia by the Barn
Oil on panel, 12x9

I planted this forsythia several years ago, and this year it is magnificent! It was a volunteer that sprouted in my flower bed in an undesired location.  I have moved several of these to remote places - and now they are heralding spring from all over the property!  After many errands and chores today - I arrived this afternoon - and just had to start this landscape.  I have never painted forsythia before.  The very best part was the very bold application of cad yellows right out of the tube!  So fun!  This makes painting number 102 in as many days :)
