It's warmer than cold outside the studio, and the fat-flaked soaking snow that falls in March is here. The mud is thickening out in the alley, bits of grass are greening up, the first leaves of the daylilies are poking through and the periwinkles are bravely blinking little blue-violet flowers. Spring is a determined season.
Meanwhile, here inside the studio I've been stashing wishful thinking, imagining how good this weather would feel in July. I'm determined beyond reason.

ooooooooh, I REALLY like this one. What calm!
Found your blog via Margaret's. Your work is amazing, love it.
Yum. Wow. Warm and inviting and beautiful. Your region is where I'd like to be in July! In my area, it's time to run for the hills to get away from the heat.
Loriann, this does feel calmer than shivering through this winter!
Thanks so much, Tina. Welcome and come back anytime!
M - I confess that posting this to survivors of this winter is easy money. Or in your case, a cool summer breeze.
Oh my god, this is SOOOOOO amazing. What's up wid you, pulling off one amazing pastel after another?! I'm jealous!
P.S. I think if this was done on the velour paper, then that means I get to keep it.
Way to go, Sam! Keep pasteling!
Thanks for the encouragement, Casey. Keep pasteling, you say? Just try to stop me!
Hi Sam

This painting is a real beauty. I want to be there inside this painting on a hot summer evening!
Welcome Janelle! Google Friend Connect just DISconnected me when I tried to send you a msg. Ha! It's not you; it keeps doing that whenever I try to send to a new follower.
I've seen your dreamy landscapes and love them. I say, stare at them all you want: it sure beats TV.
Looked through your blog and found the post about your house. We also live in a Sears kit Craftsman house built in 1928 by a plumber. Built to last!
Everybody's already said it, but I'll say it too: this pastel is great!
