Spring Is Slow to Arrive





It is at this time of year that I feel envious of friends & family living in warmer climates. Hearing or reading about the beauty of new green leaves, trees & shrubs in bloom, & bulbs bursting into blossom, I feel forlorn. Spring comes late to the northeast. It is a slow process, the warming of the earth & regeneration of life here. 
The painting above is entitled "Winter Blue". It is not a new painting, but it most says what I am feeling right now. Although, cold temperatures continue & branches are still bare, the sky is blue & birds are singing, giving hope for warmer days ahead.

  3. The “Winter Blue ” enduring the cold is also beautiful. The painting calmly implies early spring.

  5. Am in Minneapolis and agree wholeheartedly -- hard to see the pictures of all the blooming going on elsewhere.

    Our time is coming -- I mean, at this point it's almost a matter of faith that the seasons have not forgotten us, but our time is coming!!

  6. Beautiful painting. Be patient, spring is on the way. And with global warming, maybe we don't want it to get too hot too soon. All in good time.

  8. Hope it will be warmer and greener soon, because I really understand your feelings. I'm alwags longing for these days, when life starts growing again, the sunlight and all the green, yellos, pink and whites coming up.
