There is something about May: finally it feels that spring has truly arrived, even though it’s been more than five weeks since the official end of winter. Because of this year’s cool temperatures it seems that all of the buds and blossoms have lasted just a bit longer. . . and the show has been marvelous. Some days it’s even possible to appreciate the intense yellow of the flowers popping up in lawn strips around town, but that’s only on some days.

Dandelions, a recent monotype, will be available at the Downtown Akron Artwalk on Saturday, May 4, from 5 – 9 p.m. at Joan Colbert Studios on the third floor of Summit Artspace, 140 East Market Street, Akron, Ohio.
