Painting of the week - This week we're changing things up a bit and sharing one of our favorite John Sloane paintings, 'Spring Cleaning'. John says "Hello! I hope spring is steadily progressing in your area. Here, new growth is bursting out all over! The week, we've seen our first wild violets and dandelions ... butterflies and blue herons. The robins' morning song wakes me up long before dawn, and my beloved meadowlarks sing vigorously all day. Our birdbath is a lively place, visited daily by a colorful assortment of birds. Chipmunks are already stealing and storing up birdseed for next winter. This week, in between spring cleaning and garden chores, take time to enjoy the many beautiful sights and sounds of this exciting season."
