Spring is in the air! Things are looking up around here. I’ve been working in the garden and in the studio, but don’t have anything that feels ready to show.
I was thrilled to find out that my work was accepted for the 38th Annual Western Federation of Watercolor Societies’ show which will be held in the Dallas, TX area in June! Here is the painting that was accepted:

This past weekend felt cold and dreary after our recent warm spell. The little goats are telling me that it feels like spring, and the ewes are munching pasture at an incredible rate, preparing for lambs in about a month!

I took refuge in my greenhouse yesterday for a serene and warm sensory experience. It felt like spring or summer in there for sure! The frogs were singing, the flowers blooming and the earth smelled rich and wet.

Thank you for sharing Ruth. I am so ready for spring!
Thank you, Ruth, for the beautiful photos and the encouragement to look around us to appreciate the advent of spring. Congratulations on “Golden Hour.”
Congrats on your show acceptance… and thanks for the glimpse into your greenhouse… spring is on the way!
Thanks everyone 🙂 I’m off to work in the garden!
Congrats (again) for your beautiful painting making the WFWS (again) this year!
Your goat is so precious..he makes me smile 🙂 I do hope he finally found his way off that rock though.
Lovely photos of your home and your amazing paintings. You are a true artist in every sense and always working on your craft. I admire you so.
Thanks so much Susan 🙂 The feeling is mutual!
