I am calling this a series because I fully intend to continue with this theme of following the change of seasons through the plant life in my own backyard. This first painting celebrates the blooming forsythia in early spring. I love seeing those blossoms appear with their explosion of vibrant yellow as one of the first announcements that spring is here at last. This painting is watercolor with a little watercolor pencil, along with some stenciling with watercolor paint on 300 lb cold pressed paper.
