Yes, I'm still here

     Happy Saint Patrick's Day!  Well, I haven't blogged for a bit so you're probably wondering where I've been.  As it turns out, I've been very busy, prolific, in fact.  As the temperatures warm, the days lengthen and sun strengthens, my energy goes way up, and along with it, my inspiration.  You can see the renewal of the upcoming season in my most recent works, I think.  Themes like water and flowers have made their return and you can sense the joy in these pieces.  You can almost see me smiling as I painted them, and I hope they make you smile too.
