A 9 1/2 by 71/2 original watercolour with mat. The painting is done on Arches 140 lb. paper with Daniel Smith paints. This image was chosen as it represents the joy of the first signs of spring.

The painting is done by Terry Murray - a new artist with the Harte Studio Tour. Looking for a creative focus after retirement, Terry chose watercolour. She loves the range of effects you can achieve from soft and light to bold and vibrant. Combining her love of gardening, colour and photography, Terry paints flowers. She is influenced by the elegance and simplicity of Asian art.
