This painting is similar to one I did a number of years ago. That painting, "Transition" was inspired by the Monarch butterfly's annual migration from North America to Mexico and back. A decade later....I felt exceptionally grateful when I saw and felt the dawn of a new spring following a long and cold winter. I spent time outside in the garden and smiled at new buds on the trees and bushes as warm, gentle breezes surrounded me. I watched bugs and small animals exiting their winter ground nests and maple tree seeds flying through the air. I just needed to celebrate this once again.
