A Passion for Punch: Part Two

It’s time to change your punched calendar to Spring! Calendar header #2. See the Winter header in the January/February 2019 issue.

Is there anything more gloriously welcome than the first sweet days of spring? After the winter my eyes are starved for color and light, and never is there a more welcome green than that of the vibrant first buds on the trees and the brightening of the grass. Even on chilly days I venture to the bench outside my studio door to punch with the sounds and smells of spring all around, the warmth of the sun on my face. It does my heart good.

After the snow drops and crocuses make their daring appearance, the next flowers to venture forth are the tulips and daffodils that line the path to my studio. One tulip has a breathtaking combination of reds, violets, and golden yellows and I knew I had to share it with you in this spring piece.
