A Springtime Art Show in the Hedges

A burst of sunny yellow caught my eye as I stepped outside last week - the  forsythia had bloomed! These blossoms precede their green leaves, so it does take a focused eye to catch them at the right moment when the blossoms are solo. Although I didn't catch the blossoms early enough (you can see the green leaves beginning to show), the shrub is still a welcome sign of Spring.  Since I know how quickly these blooms disappear, I grabbed my camera to snap a picture to share on my blog.

Springtime is one of the seasons that artists thoroughly enjoy. Whether it's a flower, a shrub, a springtime vegetable, buds on trees and in hedges, it's all new and colorful after a long winter has passed. It's a new awakening with a new perspective offering artists a wide range of subjects, and offers each of us a reminder that life goes on to bring another day of beauty and possibility.

I'm hoping your day is a colorful snapshot!

Andrea's Art Tip: Carrying a small camera in your pocket, car, briefcase or purse is a wonderful way to catch these dynamic moments that may not be available tomorrow. So, grab a snapshot if the subject moves you and use it as a guide for a future artistic presentation from you.
