St. Patrick's Weeklong Green Painting Celebration is almost over and today's entry celebrates spring!  We have a gorgeous spring day here and to me the sight of strawberries and asparagus are a sure sign that spring is here!  So, the beautiful green stalks of asparagus with their touches of yellow ochre and purple are my "green thing" and one of my "spring things" for today!

Little rascals....you pull out your grapes to wash 'em or eat 'em and there's always a few that go rolling around on you!  What I love about these little renegades - other than their tastiness - is their lovely transluscence.  It is a challenge to capture in paint and is an intense exercise in seeing.  A good way to s-t-r-e-t-c-h your eyes, your comprehension!

Little Katie and I have something in common....green eyes!  The great thing about green eyes is that if you forget to wear green on St. Patrick's Day (but, really, who does that??  Right??), you can always rely on your eyes to keep you from getting pinched! 

 

Just a touch of green today for the St. Patrick's Day painting, but just a touch is all you need sometimes!
