Orchard Asleep, Mid April.

Acrylic and pencil on unprimed printing paper, 11 x 15 inches. An orchard high atop a hill on highway 2, close to Port Hope. Lush greens of spring on the ground but no new growth on the apple trees yet. They were a more purpley grey than this, but I left the darker contrast.

Tracking Spring

Painted on April 25th....the crest of a hill with a bit of scrub bush just starting to feel the pull of spring....the ground greening up a touch. There is a period from about the start of March to the end of June when I track the days carefully for changes....it's a dramatic and favourite time.

4" x 4" acrylic collage painting on paper, external paper size 5" x 5", now listed in my Etsy shop.
