"First colors of Spring" is a close up of a tiny landscape that I did for a post while it was still winter time here. Today, using photo shop, I cut and paste some of the background and placed it inside the landscape. I had originally used tons of texture on this piece, paint and papers and gels. Since I have been getting questions, from these amazing artists,
Maralena and
Azirca I thought I should share this where this image came from. If you look far back on my blog to March, a post called "Changes in Light" you will see four abstracts with tiny landscapes inside of them! Now they seem a little clumsy to me but boy, was I having fun!
While I was working outside yesterday I discovered this muffin tray that I had bought while out antiquing years ago. Ahh Ha! Perfect, I thought to display some of the newest leaves and fruits from my gardens. They are: mountain ash, maple, dogwood, birch, aspen, fire bush, flowering pear and river birch. And of course a picture of a dandylion is needed here, a photo that my daughter shared with me! They are trying to take over our lawn...time to weed and feed.

About the banner/ First colors of spring... BEAUTIFUL color and texture. Is it a painting or part of a work?

Hello Roxane, thank you for your comment. It does not raise problem to send your photo earlier to Miss* Laurence to be published, the main part is to participate and to be in mind of this June 21st.
Where do you go in France, if it is not indiscreet?
In very soon. Fine.

That muffin tin is great and yes, perfect way to display.
Who is it that determined that anything that grows fast and strong and easily is a weed???
