Spring has truly arrived!
Look at these gorgeous colorful watercolor home paintings. Spring has to be my favorite season. Lots of new life and growth. Here are two examples in Kensington, Maryland.

Another home in Maryland, tucked away in lush tree-filled Bethesda.

In the residential areas in DC I have found some true treasures. This is one of them. A English style cottage that I estimate was built in the 1930’s. Look for the bird in this one.

Moving over to the west coast, there is a different kind of Spring growth. A California native garden that is exploding with color with the recent rainfall. This home is in Sierra Madre, CA.

And lastly, perched in the hills of Glendale California is this historic home. Look at the beautiful stained glass windows and the rich colors.

Those are just some of my favorites over the last two weeks. Hope you have enjoyed the tour.
