I know a little pussy

Her coat is silver gray

She lives down in the meadow

Not very far away.

Though she is a pussy

She’ll never be a cat.

She is a pussy willow.

Now what do you think of that!

                                    Traditional

While waiting for Spring I can't resist painting Spring's awakening around me and Pussy Willows always fascinated me.

I could hear you, talking to the daffodils and tulips, whispering to the fairies that lived inside their petals. Each separate flower had a different family inside it.

They are always the very first signs of Winter's end. Okay, at the moment is much too early for them, but if you look closely you can see, they are nearly there. This is painted on a new brand DALER & ROWNEY - THE LANGTON watercolor paper and it's really perfect with it's two different sides, perfect for wet in wet, but also wet on dry technics. Okay, you must stretch it, because it buckles a lot, but drys very flat too.
