It’s officially Spring! The weather seems to be warming up, the robins are back and the flowers are finally starting to appear. We’ll ignore for a moment that it’s supposed to snow here tomorrow… In celebration of the season, I’d like you to consider this image of spring crocuses as your art inspiration for this week. These guys are currently happily blooming in my garden, which is a welcome pop of color after the cold, dreary winter.

I like crocuses. They’re one of the first flowers to brave the early spring and its unpredictable weather. They’re colorful and cheerful, like a ray of hope! They also kind of signify to me the rebirth of spring, inexorably working their way up through the dark, frozen ground.

What signifies spring for you? Is it the first flowers? The return of the robins (if you live in the north, anyway!)? Or is it something else?  How do you celebrate Spring with your art?
