Trilliums

As I walked back in the woods on our property, I noticed the trilliums in bloom again. This is the first sign of spring in the Northwest! The trillium is a simple, yet beautiful flower that covers the ground beneath the fir trees in wooded areas. I kept the background simple and loose for this painting by tilting the paper (on gatorboard) and letting the paint run.
