A Harbinger of Springtime
Artist
Hazel Holland
Medium
Painting - Soft Pastel
Description
This is a soft pastel of an hibiscus flower that I painted a number of years ago when I lived in sunny Southern California. Now that I live in Idaho I'm really looking forward to the end of this cold winter and the beginning of springtime.
So this beautiful flower is a harbinger of springtime... reminding us that Spring will surely follow winter at the appointed time.โฅ
