In Au seuil du printemps , Kathleen Roby captures the fragile moment when winter gives way to spring's rebirth. This work, begun as part of a series on paper, was set aside for a while, then revisited on a bright day when the golden light of the studio inspired a palette evoking melting snow.

 The textures and transparencies of Fabriano paper highlight intuitive gestures and earthy nuances. Through this composition, contemporary abstract painter Kathleen Roby subtly captures the warm breath of warming soil and the scent of awakening earth. The metaphorical title evokes this sensory and emotional passage toward light.
