I've been seeing so many forsythia bushes around here bursting with early spring blooms of vibrant yellow that it's tickled my muse something awful. An amazing feat, considering how I generally loathe the color yellow.

Forsythias carry a specific memory of a feeling for me. A memory of the joy I had in decorating our Easter tree which was made from the branches of pussy willows and forsythias. They looked so beautiful done up with ribbons, bunnies, and miniature eggs. There was a feeling of excitement in the air as all the daffodils, forsythia, azalea, and spring blooms awakened from their wintery sleep.

I love the transition from winter to spring as much as I love the transition from summer to autumn.

Now if only my allergies weren't killing me!

This is really beautiful. I love the style, and your colour selections are perfect. Every little detail adds so much to this painting. I think that I like her wings and her expression best of all in the painting.

She came out lovely m'dear! Especially for the small size. And the colours work really nicely, though if it were me I'd have liked to have seen a little more yellowy warmth in her skin to pop from the blue, and warm up the golds, but other than that, it's your best ACEO to date!
