Work in Progress

The month of March is a start of spring time painting here in Missouri. Though very few trees are opening their buds this time of year, other vegetation blossom without any hesitation. Most of us recognize the daffodil as an early fower with spring officially around the corner. Another sign, for those driving the country side, is the henbit that takes over the unplowed fields. Henbit is the pinkish purple color you find in the distant landscape. It's an invasive weed that farmers do not desire and spreads everywhere very quickly. The color only lasts a week or two, so one has to hurry to find and paint it. Shortly the tiny flowers will be spent.

This next piece is in reconsideration. The sky blue is a bit too much, I will add more white to lighten it up. Too much blue seems to be clashing with the purple.
