Changing Seasons Challenge: April 2018 (and Sunday Trees)

As some readers have noticed, Priorhouse blog is moving a little slower with a spring break mode. To break this up a little, I have a post for the Changing Seasons Challenge.

For April 2018, I am again going with “Photographic” with 5-20 photos from the month.

Go here to join in or see more entries.

During April 2018, I had the chance to go to our local art museum (VMFA):

This shot reminds me of Homer’s painting called “Snap the Whip” – because of the hills, foreground details, nature vibe, red on green, children playing outdoors and their staggered placement and arms and legs, etc. (Just reminds me of it a little…. can you see why?? :0) )

Homer’s Snap the Whip, 1872

In April, I had the chance to do a few art projects with some students. For one project, we used up some old music sheets (a piano play book from 1934) and the students designed a sheet with their artsy touch (using watercolor or ink):

 

We also had some of those typical April showers:

 

That help bring late April flowers:

And tree snow:

We also enjoyed quiet moments outside. (Doesn’t the outdoors feel so much better after winter?):

I did a lot of driving in April, and sometimes it is hard to see the forest through the trees cars: 

Other times, clear roads are freeing 

Cold beverages: 

Hot bevs too:

And look, this lady has my “P” mug:

Now a closing comic, just for fun:

Well that is all for my changing seasons post.

Thanks for viewing and wishing you a wonderful day.
