A stroll on a sunny, almost-spring day turned up an unexpected Coltsfoot bloom (Tussilago farfara). I snapped a photo of the flower and painted a sketch of it in my nature journal later.
The time I spent walking was good exercise and uplifting to my spirit. The time I spent painting felt like a meditation on the beauty of nature and the change of seasons.
The first blooms of the warming weather are all the more special after the months of cold and snow. Giving yourself time to sketch or paint these beauties is a wonderful way to celebrate spring's renewal.
