Return of the Spring

Feeling very Springy lately! Not only has my favorite season returned in its full glory, but I have a new, old 1940's watch (from the Fleam) that requires winding, & it's making me think at least once a day about clockworks & their intricate springy beauty.

And besides, I'll take any excuse to draw curlicues & tendrils! How convenient that I'm working on the flora in my painting right now... this is one of many oddflower designs, more to come soon!

    This is really cool! I love that big flower and of course, the wonderful tendrils and curlicues. Those little spotted creatures are so cute!

    I love how the spirals spring off the wee creatures, a wonderful piece.

    How big is this painting going to be? Is it a mural on the side of a building??

    Very nice. That flower looks dangerous to insects.

    I'm enjoying the creatures whose symbiotic relationship with the plant has mysteriously developed to the point where their own curlicues sprout in between the plant's fronds. Nice to ponder. Which means another cup of coffee. Mmmm...

    Love the wildness of the tendrils & curliques! And that flower has such character!
