Spring yearnings

Manitou Morning Reflections

We seem to have long winters around here and I'm getting yearnings for more spring like days. I have a friend who has rented a home/studio on Vancouver Island for two months and when I was talking to him on the phone the other day he had just got back from kayaking. That seems pretty appealing to me right about now.  The watercolour above was painted en plein air when we had some balmy weather that was conducive to painting out of doors.
