for behold the winter is past; the rain is over and gone;  the flowers appear on the earth , and the time for singing has come.  - The Song of Solomon - 2:11-12

I always loved these verses from the book of Solomon and several years ago I was inspired by theses verses  to paint a series  of women in gardens.. Some of the paintings were women with children. They were done in an impressionistic style. This painting  was sold.

Today I started on the last page of the current children's book I am illustrating. Soon I will be able to go back through the pages to see if they need corrections or maybe additions.
