"Spring" is a 16"x20" acrylic painting on canvas, unframed but color wrapped (i.e., painting is continued around the sides of the canvas, so it doesn't require a frame).

About the Artist & NEXT Village Member Eleanor Edgeworth: My love of art began when, as a 12-year-old, I walked to the Baltimore Museum of Art to see a Vincent Van Gogh exhibit. His range of subject matter and the emotion he expressed by color and paint application so impressed me. I was immediately hooked, but because of my lack of confidence, I didn’t start painting until I was 25. My paintings are essentially an emotional response to the subject matter, be it natural or abstract. Sometimes, I don’t have a definite idea in mind when I begin, so I just start with a brush stroke or a patch of color and let the panting evolve as an exploratory composition of line, form, and color. There is so much violence and evil in the world, I hope I can contribute a little bit of beauty.
