Still, I'm happy to enjoy the beautiful flowers through your eyes. And yes, if you've already cut the grass, it must be spring. That would be summer, here. Wonderful artwork, as always. You are such a talent.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445904412813391897.post-89963033134567837872015-03-01T11:53:49.559-08:002015-03-01T11:53:49.559-08:00Wow, wonderful shots of the beautiful early spring...Wow, wonderful shots of the beautiful early spring flowers and I always like your artwork.Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968919406427737503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445904412813391897.post-1532550639327421712015-02-27T14:44:28.983-08:002015-02-27T14:44:28.983-08:00Great idea, I am so bad at markrting end of things...Great idea, I am so bad at markrting end of things.Gillian Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283601772483708539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445904412813391897.post-34872489214041911372015-02-27T04:46:39.566-08:002015-02-27T04:46:39.566-08:00It certainly seems like spring so I hope we do not...It certainly seems like spring so I hope we do not have any late winter surprises! I like the Gastown painting’s perspective of the clock and building. I think prints of these would do really well in the shops there.

The robin is so cute and your paintings are so lovely. In my part of the world, the buds of magnolia are still tight and no dandelions but I see other flowers in the post.

There was a mention somewhere that the blueberries are blooming already which I hope we don't get frost or snow which will ruin it possibly on the crops of blueberries this year.

Hopefully Old Man Winter isn't planning a return trip in March. Your photos are beautiful and indicate that you are slightly ahead of us... crocuses are out, but daffodils still just buds. I think your flowering bush is a type of Viburnum and your little purple flowers are violets. They can take over the lawn ~ I keep plucking mine and sticking them in a hanging basket! Love the detail in your paintings ~ quite taken with the Hellebore, as I have some in my front window box that look just like your painting. Also lovely to revisit the refurbished steam clock in Gastown...thanks for the sunny post :)Glohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532995590131801962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445904412813391897.post-8544901156108143192015-02-25T08:40:03.119-08:002015-02-25T08:40:03.119-08:00The flowers of spring, blooming, and a bit too ear...The flowers of spring, blooming, and a bit too early.
