Saint Brigid's Day (Imbolc)

 

Spring Snow   oil/canvas   14 x 11 x .5



is a folk tradition in Ireland marking the beginning of Spring.  Even before I was aware of this Irish festival, I was greatly aware of the changing of the sun this time of year.  Snowy days seemed warmer.  Shadows longer.  

This small painting illustrates that change with warm colors and translucent feels.  This painting was selected to be a part of the Winter Exhibition at Cuyahoga Valley Art Center.  The exhibition runs through March 5.  Gallery Hours:  M-T:  10-3; Wed:  3-6; Thurs-Fri:  10-3 and Sat.  10-2.  So many wonderful paintings grace the gallery.  Call:  928-8092 for further information.  

The Cuyahoga Valley Art Center is located at 2131 Front Street in Cuyahoga Falls.
