Wishing everyone a beautiful, peaceful Easter!

#Repost @lois_bryan_photog ・・・ "As Winter Melts Into Spring" can be found here: https://ift.tt/2n392hD ... Three lovely old buildings along Colonial Williamsburg's well known main street, Duke of Gloucester, stand shivering in the late afternoon sunlight, doing their best to shed themselves of a recent snowfall. Though their toes are still covered in drifts and wet slush, they're mostly rid of the white-stuff on their heads and pretty faces. They aren't really worried, though. They've been around long enough to know that the rare snowfalls in Williamsburg usually melt fast. And there's a certain playful warmth in the slant of the golden rays that tells them spring is on its way. #williamsburg #winter #spring #art #gifts #fineartamerica #loisbryan #architecture #history #historic #shops #colonialwmsburg https://ift.tt/2KiiZkF

"The Palace At Colonial Williamsburg" … The main portion of the stately #GovernorsPalace building in #ColonialWilliamsburg, #Virginia is a lovely sight on a bright summer afternoon. #Williamsburg is filled with architectural jewels at every step, and the #Palace is one of the most admired and beloved of all. "The Palace At Williamsburg" is a cropped, vertical version of the horizontal image "Colonial Williamsburg Governor's Palace" which is also available in my portfolio. Hand painted digitally from my own photo in #CorelPainter.

Happy Leap Year Day!!!!!

I am a froggie lover … I can't deny!!!

When we lived at our old house, one of my morning rituals in warmer weather days was to visit the pool and scoop peepers out and carry them to a safer place. Loved the little darlings, and I have oodles of pics of froggies at my website https://lois-bryan.pixels.com/art/frog … not many of which ever sold, but that's okay!!!

This particular guy was hand drawn, freehand, from my imagination and using specific details from a number of my photos and sources. No photo base in this one. Just me, the Wacom Tablet, the Art pen and good old #Corel Painter. Big fun.

So enjoy your Leap Year Day!!!!! And do some leaping!!!!!
