    I love the idea of Spring. A chance to renew yourself. Take out fresh canvas or papers and create from Nature’s Landscapes. Find yourself outside in a park or meadow and lavish yourself in color.

    Early spring is the time of anticipation, a powerful force, a force that empowers a tender, fearless seedling to push through dirt towards the light and grow into anything.
    Thank you Renee for all that you give and all participating artists, thank you
