"Springing" into Action

Despite being punny and funny, it should be said that springtime is always my most productive studio time. This past April's studio time has once again demonstrated my creative pattern.  Below is a sampling of some works completed and some works in progress.

The brain is a world consisting of a number of unexplored continents & great stretches 

of unknown territory.  - Santiago Ramón y Cajal

 And Spring arose on the garden fair,

Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

- Percy Bysshe Shelley from The Sensitive Plant
