Is it Spring? That’s of secondary importance to me although I have been trying to push it that way. The problem I have is always being seduced by rich, saturated colour rather than the overwhelming palette of greys and muted purples. What I like about this painting compared to the previous is the difference in size between foreground trees and far ground giving a sense of space. This may seem like an obvious thing to say but it is quite apparent in this painting and has got me thinking. The sky in this painting is also more successful. I may return to the previous painting just to improve the sky.
Springtime arrives in the valley. Day 5
