The long dark winter is almost over.  Spring is promising to arrive soon.  Sun and warmth are coming soon.  Some of the birds stayed all winter, others are returning slowly as the snow sporadically melts and the ice recedes.  I thank God for those who have stayed within reach, and made it bearable.  Painting is an escape, a way of moving through time and space; sometimes work, sometimes just pure pleasure.
