The end of April and May is such a great time in the northeast. Just as my birthday arrives (April 27th) it's like nature gives me a beautiful present and the cherry blossoms open up to display a gorgeous fluffy pink backdrop. The blooms this year have been particularly beautiful and it just puts me in a good mood about everything.

I've been working on a 2' x 3' canvas of sunflowers for the past week or so and it is coming along splendidly! While it doesn't happen often, this "down time" free of travel and obligation, has allowed me the opportunity to just be an artist and enjoy dabbling in the colors again. Ironically, when I was flitzing around from place to place teaching, I didn't get much time to sit down and really design. My self-imposed exile has really paid off and my creative juices are overflowing! I hope you too are taking advantage of this beautiful time of year and enjoying some of wonderful displays around our earth!
