Fresh off the easel

I just finished this piece titled,"Positive Thinking". He just seemed so positive, encouraging me to work on as I brought him to life.

February is my favorite month and this year's February hasn't disappointed. We have fresh, fluffy snow hanging off tree branches and hand rails. The sun is high enough now to even feel it's warmth. But still it felt good to paint the warm greens of this frog.

Everything about him says 'summer' and 'warm'. As I marveled at the white wonderland outside I was happy to have a little piece of summer in my studio today.
