One of the harbors of spring, the daffodil!  My friend, Galina, is original from Russia.  She gave me this Russian vase. I love so many kinds of flowers in this vase.  It really makes the colors pop.

One of my favorite birds and common here in Northern Illinois, the northern flicker.  A woodpecker that loves wooded areas.  I recently made a commissioned flicker which inspired me to paint this one also.   The lilacs have already come and gone.  But I still have a few photos of them on my phone.  I used this one as inspiration for the painting of the flicker.
