Signs of Spring in February 2024

with milder temperatures and rain instead of snow we’re seeing buds, sprouts and even flowers

In many parts of the world this is hardly unusual but it’s very unusual in Toronto to see signs of spring this early.

Tonight the temperatures are dropping by 20 celsius degrees, +9 to -11. Earlier today I was overdressed and when I went out later in the day I quickly felt how much the temperatures were dropping and I was very much underdressed.

An Update on my Art Progress

….finally completed my first big piece

I showed you how my tulip painting started and after several revisions I can now say that it is finished and ready to be sealed and wired. This is the biggest piece I’ve done to date. The canvas measures 15″ x 30″.

As you can see I kept layering and layering paint till I was happy with the results. Here is the finished piece.
