Spring Rain
I live in Western Oregon and here spring is alternately a wonderful riot of color, especially a particularly shocking shade of green, or it is gray-lavender skies and mud and pouring rain. My first inclination when I thought about how I was going to interpret “Spring” was to focus on
Spring Reveal
Roadside Phlox and Bloomers One of the sure signs of spring here in west central Florida is when the pink/purple phlox appear along the sides of the roads. They perennially blanket the grassy roadside areas, and many families can be seen stopping to take portrait photos among the
Nesting Season
I love this time of the year, when nature wakes up and green leaves start to appear on the bushes and trees. After a long Canadian winter everyone is glad to see fresh colours, flowers and birds again. I wanted to convey this feeling using the picture of
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 – literally
I am a very literal person and so when I heard the next Prompt was Spring I immediately thought of the metal types not the season. I live in Australia where the seasons are not as severe as most of my fellow Cloth in Common artists. We don’t wait
Hope Springs
My piece embodies what spring means to me. It is the time of year when I yearn to try new things and when I most enjoy printing at my bench, in my studio, with the doors open to my garden. It is the time of year when hope springs.
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
