Paint Party Friday - Spring Snow




Welcome to Paint Party Friday! This is a quick piece on a yellow (3" x 5") memo sheet. It was on hand when I got inspired by a photo I saw. I did the piece in watercolour pencil then the black 'seeds' smudged in a few spots as I painted over the piece with water. So I covered the smudges with white acrylic paint then decided it would be a 'Spring Snow' piece!

And I received a lovely gift in the mail from Patsy Paterno.   The interesting thing is that she intended to mail it in April 2013 but was cleaning out her desk and found the envelope recently!  So I am sharing her sweet card with  you today and thanks Patsy, better late than never!

I think three years is a little long to wait for a parcel. Glad it was worth it in the end. I love the spring picture too. Apparently in England it is more likely to rain in spring than winter. So you're more likely to have a white easter than a white christmas.

Good thing about spring snow is that they disappear fast. Birds don't seem to mind and your birds look so cheerful! Gifts are always welcome even if they come late.
