Thoughts of Spring and Love

Thoughts of Spring and Love


This painting was one I thought I would never be showing on here but in the light of what I learned yesterday I am. I had sold a painting from one of the Inns that I hang paintings in for sale. I was due to be away over the weekend and needed something to put up in a hurry. I saw it as a kind of tide me over till I had something better.


I rushed this one off. I was aware that it was not the best I had ever painted. I do not know why I called it, “Thoughts of Spring and Love.” It just seemed a title that said what I thought the painting said. It was maybe just a case of me being the old romantic again.

I headed off for the weekend. On my return I was shocked to discover that this painting had sold. The owner of the Inn did not know who had bought it just that it was a couple.

I discovered yesterday it was the couple I had married all those years ago. They still have it and they say it still gives them joy.

Painted on canvas using acrylic.
