Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb

If rhubarb is the word used by actors for background small talk, then this young rhubarb must surely represent a stage whisper. I've played with the image on Photoshop, using 'paint daubs' and a 'sparkle' brush, for an arty effect.

So much new growth in the family's garden (and beyond, of course)! Lots of green buds opening on roses, with polyanthus, snowdrops and hellebores in flower. It's been mild and sunny again, with a good drying wind.

Thanks to Ingeborg for hosting this week's Abstract Thursday challenge again, with the theme of a 'painterly' feel.
