Early springtime is the subject of Jeff Aeling's photo-realistic painting entitled "Dogwoods". The tiny white flowers are just appearing on the dogwood trees as it emerges from winter's grip. Loose brush strokes and gentle dabs of paint evoke impressionist painting. The somber palette is broken with subtle white and pink flowers and a hopeful sky. The painting is framed in a heavy black frame measuring 45h x 33h inches.
