Tree blossoming

The tree blossoming season is my favorite time of the year. It is short and just over here. But it has been a really busy time for me with classes at school, my youngest son jumping on one leg for a month, an order for 20 flower wreaths, all the e-courses I'm in and the 29 faces challenge I managed to keep up. So I didn't find time and energy even to capture any of the blossoming trees with my camera, not to speak about drawig or painting any.


Yesterday, was the last school day here, and for the last couple of days my son has started to walk slowly :) YAY!

So today, I spent most of the day in my studio trying to put on paper my love for the amazing season of tree blossoming and the rich associations connected for me with that. And I had to notice one more time, that although I love to do abstract art and work quickly, I mostly end up spending hours and days working at one piece and creating something almost realistic :)


Can you believe, this (still not finished) ...

... started out like that? :)

My First Garden Day

Today was the first time in this year I could work a bit in my garden.

A couple of weeks ago it was only a pond.

Today it was dry enough to set my feet into it.  Weather was sunny and warm, so I could work outside in a T-shirt with short sleeves. For the first time in this year, too.

I want to share with you some shots of the first blooms and the first friend and helper I met there. Sorry for not so good pictures: as there was some breeze the blooms were moving constantly.
