Forsythia
Showy and vibrant Forsythia, or golden bells, is a native to Asia. Erupting with abundant, bright golden yellow flowers on bare, leafless stems ushering in spring. These desktop backgrounds were inspired by Japanese art and patterns as well as yellow.
Forsythia comes in two versions so you can either take your pick or use them for a set up with dual monitors. As usual, available both for fullscreen, widescreen and iPhone/iPod Touch.

The Color of Love
I made this design with hearts inspired by a quote of Marc Chagall.
“In our life there is a single color, as on an artist’s palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.”
For Valentine’s Day. For the love of art and life. For finding that colour in your heart, and painting with it.

Snowy Night. Winter landscape with full Blue Moon.
If something happens “once in a blue moon” it happens very rarely, but it does happen and I see this idiom as an expression for a miracle. I love the phrase!
This month there actually will be a Blue Moon on December 31, New Year’s Eve. How magical this sounds! But, what is a Blue Moon?
Traditionally, the Farmers’ Almanac referred to the Blue Moon as an extra full moon that occurred in a season. A season normally had three full moons. If a season had four full moons, then the third of the four full moons was known as a blue moon. According to modern folklore, a Blue Moon is the second full moon in a calendar month and it’s this kind of modern Blue Moon that we’ll see this month.
Here’s a desktop wallpaper to put you in the mood for the Full Blue Moon. Snowy Night, a desktop picture with a magical, moonlit winter wonderland. Blue and white snow drifts, the full moon and a starry sky.
