The Thaw Sets In

Just as I was beginning to think winter would never end a bit of a thaw has set in along with stacks of garden catalogs arriving so it's a good time to start thinking about this years garden.

Somehow I get the impression that the birds are thinking about this too.

Painting this simple card and envelope design just felt like spring. I'll be attaching a photo to the center of the card so that's why it's just a border.

I even get ideas from the junk mail as I grabbed a few markers to think about this design seen on a clothing companies envelope.

It's such a simple design that I think it will work well in watercolor too.
