Winter begets spring. My favorite season has arrived, finally showing up in warmer days and yards bursting with purple Siberian squill. I’ve spotted some bright yellow forsythia and two daffodils! Tulips’ leaves are through the ground, and their blooms are soon to follow. Minnesota, we made it, spring has arrived.

Maybe you want a different color or mat size. However, it IS important to mat your painting before it hits the frame glass. The mat gives your painting a little breathing room; without it, the paint will eventually stick to the glass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you've never purchased original artwork and have questions, or if you'd like to see more pictures of this piece, please do not hesitate to get in touch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blueberry Backroads","offers":[{"title":"No Mat 9\"x12\"","offer_id":52192698106168,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matted to 12\"x16\"","offer_id":52192698138936,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/0303\/files\/ASpringTakeover1.jpg?v=1776192488","url":"https:\/\/blueberrybackroads.com\/products\/a-spring-takeover","provider":"Blueberry Backroads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
