Spring is in the Air
These colors!That’s all I could think as I set up my easel in the middle of this abandoned field today.Sometimes I am amazed (and grateful) for these open spaces in the heart of Rome.We all know that they won’t last forever.

The green, together with the pinks, blues and browns, just sung out spring to me.The air is different today, it’s almost warm.Can you tell that I am obsessed with the weather?What does spring call you to do?For me it calls out to paint trees as they slowly come back to life and to capture those colors before they change into summer.

Love the red tomb in last post.
