These were the flowers in my yard. It is very early for us to be having these flowers but I am happy to have all this sunshine and spring flowers.

I wanted to put my paints down differently and this painting was the result.  If you are an oil painter reading this I would love to hear what is your medium of choice. I have been using different combinations of mineral spirits alone and alternately various combinations of mineral spirits and stand oil. In this painting I  used just straight mineral spirits and I like it but I think I will try 1 part stand oil and 5 parts mineral spirits next. What do you use?

As for the daffodils, they are just blooming here in Ohio. It is early for them but it is nice to see the beginnings of spring.
