Each spring the colours in the trees excite and inspire me. Before the buds break the lichens have a moment, then the swelling buds and growing twiggy branches look strong and at last the first wafts of colour of blossom or leaves. It passes so quickly, every day seeming to be different, it can be a challenge to capture. This painting done in a watercolour technique with dyes is of a field edge on my daily route.
