Don't Blink sewing "To plant a garden is"Don't Blink" The flowering trees in Minneapolis appear each spring to kick off my favorite season. They are so fleeting, blink and you'll miss them. So I make it a point each spring to stop, stare, smell, bask. And this year, I gathered photos from my favorite crabapple tree, just one block from my house, and I painted her. Deep pinks and greens, with pops of blue sky coming through. A bit of spring to add to your home, year round. 11"x15" acrylic
