We’re often asked how Quint tells us he wants to paint. Sometimes, he’ll sit by a window, watching the sky, the trees, and the birds for what seems like the longest time. He’s studying colors and movement. And if we don’t notice that, he finds other ways of letting us know. For example: A recent bathroom mirror painting.

Quint’s gearing up for his first spring 2014 garden visit this week, if we can time the sun just right. Our rhododendrons and azaleas have started to bloom and you remember from last year how much he loves those big, soft flowers.
