Painted in oil on 18 x 24 canvas. Oil gives life, depth and contrast to this picture. Flowers from Linda's garden this year. The thorns contrasting with the deep red blooms are symbols of spring in the south. Crab apples are bright reminders of the contrast between winter and spring. Thorns contrasted with fragile bright blooms, a promise of more blooms to come. Unframed to allow the buyer to choose their own frame.
