Fine artist Rhonda Counts doesn't want us to miss the "velvet cape" of spring's "prickly pine" -- the bright sea foam color and softness of the evergreen's new growth.
Rhonda's nature-themed artwork is currently on exhibit at Boyertown's Studio B Art Gallery as part of the gallery's "Form & Fiber" show. Her work is known for its texture utilizing items in nature in the development of it.

Rhonda's post turned my attention to the yew in my backyard--sporting its own new growth--soft to the touch in lime .

Not badly done for a former journalism teacher and school newspaper advisor. Thank G_d there was no need for collating or paste-ups.
