Cherry Spring. Mixed media: acrylic, watercolor, pen on archival watercolor paper, 20 x 16 inches framed. Painting usually inside of the Hopewell historical train station weekly and inspired by the blossoming cherry trees,  I brought my easel outside to paint en plein air instead. The station's Second Empire architectural style was a bit daunting, but my desire to paint the cherry blossoms beckoned me on.
