Espresso ala Spring

Spring inspires and energizes me! Definitely one of my favorite times of the year. When the beautiful spring trees and the rhododendrons, tulips, daffodils, and other spring flowers bloom, my heart just sings! This painting is a tribute to the beauty that surrounds me.....and of course my love of the smell of the coffee shop, and visiting with friends over a cup of espresso! What could make a more perfect day?

Al Fresco
20 x 20" Pastel

New addition to my coffee shop series. Experimenting with a different color palette is always challenging, but you learn so much. Here I tried working with purples and greens.
