Found Art Friday - Everything Blooming

Good morning out there, and happy Found Art Friday! Our theme this month is -- quite inappropriately with all of this snow and freezing weather -- "Everything Blooming." So I'd like to send out an extra big thank you to all of our contributers for digging deeply into their memories of lost warm, springlike days to create these beautiful bouquets.

Thank you, again to everyone who participated this month in our little Found Art Friday experiment. For next month's theme, I thought I would up the "randomness quotient" by asking everyone to suggest a theme here in the comments, and I will pick one of the themes out of a hat for March! So please suggest something, and be creative. All theme ideas are welcome.

This Friday is Found Art Friday!

The end of the month is almost upon us, and this Friday's Found Art theme is "Everything Blooming." I know, I know... it's very hard to imagine blooms when this has been such a long, cold winter. But perhaps if we all think spring hard enough, a thaw will come. If you're new to Found Art Friday, the idea is to just create freely and without much planning... seeing what fun, serendipitous idea comes to mind. If you plan to participate, just post your submission to your blog & email me a link to it at cnichols19@aim.com. If you don't have a blog, just email me a jpeg image.

And speaking of "Everything Blooming," I stumbled upon this image of my very first painting today. It's called "Night Garden," and it so reminded me of our theme this week, so I thought I would share.
