This beautiful and inviting front garden bursts with spring flowers: azaleas, irises, daisies, etc. Red poppies bloom on the painted mailbox perched on a tree stump. In the back I can see a pergola for grape vines. Wouldn't you like to walk up the stairs to look around?

Crocuses are one of the first flowers that bloom in the season, sometimes peeking through a cover of snow.  If you have the bulbs planted in a pot, you can even force them to bloom in winter.

Most artists paint light.  The subject matters are often inconsequential.  In "Spring Light," I was painting the bright spring light as much as the backlit crocuses by the window.
