First Blooms of March

First Blooms of March
Oil on panel, 7x5
auction - bid here
Another beautiful, warm day means another day of yard work! You know the old saying, "make hay while the sun shines"!  These purple crocus greeted me with their bright and shining faces - the very first blooms of the season!  Spring must surely be here - and with weather in the 70's, who can argue but the calendar?  My grandma planted this old fashioned variety decades ago, and each year her flowers remind me of her warm and gentle spirit.  She was always so optimistic - with a smile and a hug each time I saw her.  I don't think we ever stop missing those we love.  This painting is number 802 in 802 days.
