I chose spring , color green, and artist

__________________________________________________________________

When the sun has not yet reached its zenith, this man I know prefers to show the world he sees depicting it when trees first don their leafy garments. He dips his brush into viridescent hues. Strokes of emerald play upon his canvas as the world waking up from dreariness he lovingly and graciously portrays. Gemstone dots of peridot and shades of jade dance across his canvas, bringing life to pastoral scenes of landscapes of farmland and of meadows. Oh, what joy he takes in creating scenes of life when it's again reborn.

Andrea, love the way you have painted the Spring scene. You have cleverly brought in a gifted artist with a palette of green shades to make the pastoral scenes once more come alive.

Would that spring is here. I dread winter. Now its autumn and already taking a shower needs a heater on, far away of course. Lovely images. Lovely phrase : viridescent hues. Hugs and blessings.

I love the image you created with your words..."Strokes of emerald play upon his canvas...portrays." That line resonated with me. My brother was an artist and painter. I sometimes had occasion to watch his careful strokes playing upon the canvas. I really liked this one and am faving it.
