Bluebells

A Shady Spot

Bluebells

It's a sure sign of warmer days ahead when the bluebells bloom in the woods.  Unfortunately they don't last very long.  I always hope I don't miss them.  This spot is always lovely.

Gravois Creek

Under the Bridge

Tenacity

8x10 oil

I've been painting along this creek for a few years now and I'm always amazed at the tenacity of growth that continues under this bridge.  After yearly flooding or drought nature returns.
