Springtime - painting a day

"Springtime" oil on canvas panel, 5x7" [$75+shipping] at my Etsy store

When the flowering plum trees burst into bloom, I know spring is around the corner. I've been scouting locations with these trees for the last week, and yesterday I went to the local outlet mall early in the morning to paint. Felt sort of silly to be painting in a parking lot, but I love the intense color of these trees.
