    Spring is here already in California!

    Monday, February 27, 2012, 6:43 PM [General]

    I've lived in California for over 20 years now and I don't ever recall our trees and flowers blooming in February, but that is what's happening!!  
    Spring has arrived and in honor of this beautiful season, I'm posting my latest artwork:
    "Follow the Clairyon Call"

     

    Enchanted Folks founder, Be Montague, always so beautifully wrote about the seasons every year......it was inspiring to me.
    I miss Be's presence here on Enchanted Folk so much....
