Original oil, 4"x6"

We are still having snow in our part of the world, but it comes and goes. Spring is peeking up through the ground in scanty displays, most of them unpretentious and humble. One has to look for the signs closely, but they're there.
Under melting snow are the millions of maple seeds that have fallen from last fall's seed crop. Most of them are trying to take root anywhere and everywhere. Although I fight them in my gardens every year, I marvel at their capacity and productiveness.
This little oil painting is one of those passing scenes I couldn't help but notice: the snowy blanket covering the landscape and that silent channel cutting through the fields that will be a chattering stream very soon.
