Cherry Blossoms Spring
Japan was very cold this winter. The cherry trees slept well. They woke up and started to bloom. We sometimes have a picnic under the cherry blossoms. It is fun to enjoy eating foods, drinking Sake and singing Karaoke. The cherry tree
Spring Spirals
In early spring my hostas and ferns unfurl in deep spirals. Their superstar entrance is the highlight of the year. They are wondrous to me. Later in the summer they look a bit shopworn, as if they tired of repeating their mathematical spiral formula. The deep greens and bold chartruese
Spring Days
Rooflines # 17: Spring Days ©ColleenKole 2018 29″W x 40 ” H Gallery 1-5 After a few false starts on this prompt, I always come back to spring in the deep green mountains, the Green Mountains of Vermont. With the grey and white back drop of months upon months
The flowers are here
I created this quilt inspired by the first spring flowers around our house. The background is randomly pieced, trying to show the ground right after the snow disappeared. I am not a garden person, so I put up some flower quilts at the entrance of our house
Spring is …
After a cold winter, New buds slowly begin to come out of the world in snow-covered ground. And the wind starts to turn warm gradually. Then the snow melts and the ground is exposed, it begins to turn green. Not long after, Nature changes colorfully and vividly. This is indeed

Beginnings
I am pretty disciplined about working in my studio but it is sometimes hard to make myself walk the 20 metres or so from our kitchen door to my studio when it is dark, cold and raining. And this last winter seemed to go on forever. We don’t get

Thoughts about spring
are the first flowers coming up from the black earth after a long winter with lots of snow. The first flowers are the blue Anemone and the Hazel bot. Followed by the beautiful yellow “hestehov”, (Norwegian name), and then the white Anemone. Now in May it is different, we can
Spring Fever
I’ve never been quite sure what “spring fever” really is. Sometimes it seems to mean something positive—renewed energy, the appreciation of the beauty of the return of good weather and blooming flowers and growing things. Sometimes it’s something else—lethargy, lack of focus, schoolchildren restlessly letting their minds wander far
Energy of spring
Spring is the beginning of the season. Last winter was cold enough to be memorable. ‘When will the spring come…’ I even waited. This is a piece that was exhibited last month, and It is a piece to express my heart waiting for spring. Korea had four distinct seasons. At
