"Spring means melodious bird songs, flights of fancy and flashes of colorful plumage. Add flowering trees with their sweet scents filling the air and you have my favorite time of year. Apple Blossom Time is my way of paying homage to this remarkable season of rebirth and new beginnings."

This meticulously painted piece was featured in the Society of Animal Artists 52nd Annual Members Exhibition “Art and the Animal”, an international display of paintings, sculptures and drawings by the worlds finest painters and sculptors of animal art. The original show opened at the Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum in Oradel, NJ in 2012. A national tour followed in 2013 and traveled to various art museums around the US. Apple Blossom Time was one of the 70 pieces selected for this annual tour.
