I did this oil pastel sketch last Spring and when I look at it I feel so anxious for warmer weather and the chance to be surrounded by budding trees . There is nothing like being outdoors with my palette of paints. It’s just not the same working inside my Studio even though I do appreciate having a place where I can go to create ( or dream) when it’s too cold to be outside.
The days are getting longer and soon another season will begin ….and my cravings for color will be satisfied. For now I am “hunkering down” and watching nature from my window with a big cup of hot chocolate!
If the weather reports are correct it looks like I’ll be seeing alot of white in the next couple of days. A chance to do some more work on my Patience!

I love your oil pastel sketch, a “preview” of spring! Right now I am enjoying evergreen trees that give us so much beauty while the other trees are in a winter resting mode. I love seeing their branches covered with sparkling snow. The holly bush by my front steps is full of green leaves and red berries – awesome! I love watching the brids this time of year too. I saw a deep red cardinal when I was out walking this past weekend. Let the colors find you while you wait for spring, it will be here soon! Meanwhile hot chocolate sounds great!
Beautiful!! I can’t wait for spring. We had more snow here last night. Who knew the South would get so much snow this year!
Not alot of snow here but the cold and windy days are dragging me down!
I really need to get walking on the beach again…soon!!
