"First Bloom"

“First Bloom” is a symbolic representation of overcoming the dark winters of life. Snowdrop flowers are known for being some of the very first blooms each year, often bursting through layers of snow in early February. As you consider this painting, please take a few moments to think about people in your life who have overcome, who has helped you overcome, and how you have made it through dark times in your life. Maybe you are weathering such a season now. I hope that you find peace knowing that even troubles that last a lifetime are penetrated with blooms.
 
Details:
The original painting and print reproductions are available. Here is some additional information about each option:
 
Original painting:
The size of the artwork is 8 x 10 inches. I also package my original paintings with a 11" x 14" framing mat so that they are ready to be framed upon arrival. I painted this piece by hand using professional watercolor paints on archival watercolor paper. The artwork is signed with my name and the year that I painted it. 
 
Print reproduction:
My matte prints measure 8 x 10 inches. They are giclée (high-quality inkjet printing) prints on fine art paper. Prints do not come with framing mats. I sign every print by hand with archival-quality ink.
