5x7" oil on canvas board.

'The First Bud of Spring' is part of the open collection named 'Garden of Vases', exhibiting the many forms and moods a single vase can evoke when holding a variety of plants. The individual paintings of this collection I consider to be "moods" in and of themselves.

(canvas boards fit nicely into regular photo frames once the glass is taken out, resulting in a no-glare, textured, framed piece.)
