After the Frost

Hello Fellow FDL Members!

As some of you know, I live in upstate New York, where the weather can change drastically in the blink of an eye. And today it did just that! I awoke to a cold, rainy drizzle and now it's clear blue skies and milder temperatures. A stroll around the back garden shows some signs of early spring....premature lily sprouts and some early garlic greens pushing through the wet sponge of earth. We've pushed the clocks ahead and have some early evening light. Soon the crickets will chirp and the buds will be forming on the trees. Yes, spring is my favorite season for sure. As an homage to the woes of winter and the early arrival of spring, I present to you 'After the Frost', an original watercolor and ink rendering.
