Winter Woods

"The Other Bank," oil on panel, 8x6

As the days lengthen and all of our blizzard has finally melted, we can let ourselves think of the earliest days of springtime. Sometimes it's worth looking back at past seasons of warming and early flower. 

This small plein air oil shows the woods on the opposite bank of Druid Hill Creek in late winter, when the grasses have turned faintly green and the first yellow spots of flower glow in the tangled undergrowth.
