Spring in the Mountains

Spring can be a crazy time in the mountains. One can experience all four seasons in a single day, multiple times. Moment to moment the sky will be clear, then fill with clouds, wind blowing, snow squalls all around. Several times this April, it has snowed enough for me to wish the ski mountains were still open as the world here turned white. Once in awhile it will be warm enough to take a bike ride. I notice the hardy perennials in my garden popping through the earth. In the process of making this four panel abstract painting, all my conflicted emotions tumble out on to the panels.
