Paint Party Friday

Here we are at Friday again and I'm still trying to figure out what happened to Monday :(  Another one of those weeks that just totally got away from me and disappeared. 
I did manage to get the painting finish though...barely :) 
Last week I had gotten this far ...
... and had done a sketch on a separate sheet of paper with an idea of what I wanted to do...

This is what I ended up doing.

The lighting in here is making it hard to get a goof photo of the details or maybe I need to go over them and make them darker.
The gardens are waking up and recovering from the deep freeze of last week. 
I have new Daffodils and Tulips blooming and other plants pocking their little heads out of the ground. 



So that's what is happening in my world this week.

    Wow, Carol, this is such a transformation! I love it! The figure of the woman changes it from a lovely abstract to a really beautiful work.

    I think she is my favorite... beautiful! I love the colors and everything about her, especially her eyes. We have new daffies and hyacinth. Our redbuds are popping. I am worried about our peonies. I don't want to go this season without one of the blooms on the porch!

    Reading your first two sentences I thought: "that's me"! I just cannot believe how fast time goes. This is my favorite part of the year (well, summer is actually, but it all starts in spring) and it just flies by, every single year. Wished I could stop time! But you did a great job on your painting. I love how colorful it is, and all the little details you added. And that quote about balance ... perfect!
