Spring in San Francisco

Spring Blossoms, Spring Buds- 12 in. x 12 in.

My latest carved painting is called Spring Blossoms, Spring Buds. It celebrates the arrival of Spring in San Francisco, and the profusion of cherry blossoms on the trees here. I chose to use a much higher key of pink/magenta than is found in the actual blossoms, but I feel that this represents the visual intensity and deep renewal of this lovely season.  Below is a picture of Union Square taken today in downtown San Francisco at my outdoor art show. The cherry trees seen here are of the same variety featured in my carving. It is truly a lovely season!
