The Weekly Bleat: Springtime on Green Hill Farm
Button & Ivy on the first day of spring
Green Hill Farm
March 2018
In honor of this snowy, first day of spring and the lovely landscape it created, I thought I would share a rustic, winter painting I completed earlier this year as well as some photos of Green Hill Farm.
“Waiting for Spring,” 8 x 10 acrylic on canvas using a palette knife & paintbrush

Stay warm!

I love your gorgeous photos with all that snow. We had snow all day with nothing to show for it. Most people in Western North Carolina were happy the snow never got any gumption.

Many thanks for your kind comment regarding my painting, Garfield. I had fun experimenting with the palette knife.
This weather is crazy! Our forecast is calling for 5-8 inches more on Saturday. ❄️❄️❄️
Have a wonderful day! 🙂💛

Do the sheep look tired of the snow or am I just projecting? Lots of white stuff here too but at least we didn’t lose electric this time. Happy Spring to you.

I’m sure they’re tired of it, but probably, more tired of the huge temperature swings. Glad you kept your electricity! That’s a big deal. Happy Spring! Thanks for visiting. 🙂
