First Bloom

Our "real Montana winter" continues, and therefore this little painting is wishful thinking at this point in time! The flowers depicted are Crocus, or Prairie Smoke, and are the first native flowers to peek through the mountain snow in the spring along the Divide. Their appearance always causes excitement, as they testify to the fact that winter will not last much longer. This painting is an oil, 12" x 16" and is sold.

Love the delicate and spontaneous brush strokes. Makes you want to step VERY lightly and search for such treasures! Am so glad you're painting and sharing, Laurie!
