Spring Beauties by Al Agnew ~ It's springtime in the deep woods.  The early morning sun has begun to burn off the haze opening up the forest to a bright new day. In this richly detailed painting the artist has beautifully rendered the moss covered granite outcroppings, the slowly greening foliage.  We can almost hear the crinkle of dead leaves as the wild turkeys begin their daily search for food.  " Spring is my favorite time to wander in the woods, " Mr. Agnew comments.  "I often hear the wild tom's distinctive gobble, signaling the beginning of an ancient mating ritual."
