our gardens and fields. We watch them break through the soil, grow
and blossom and then, ultimately, fade away as the seasons change.

each of the four seasons using gouache, a very versatile and easy
to learn water based medium. So, pick up your brush, find a quiet
place and spend some time making a permanent record of some of
nature's seasonal beauty.
