Hello, and welcome. Today, I’m writing to you from London, and it feels like Spring has finally ‘sprung’. This week we’ve had long periods of beautiful sunshine and everyone seems to be celebrating the fact that it has finally stopped raining! Everything outside looks renewed and refreshed; the trees are covered in blossom, daffodils are bobbing their cheerful, bright yellow heads about and there are countless buds and shoots bursting out all over. It makes you want to go out and enjoy it; perhaps sketch or paint what you see... There’s a sense of seeing things anew in Spring, don’t you think? I guess it’s because light and shade are now more clearly defined and the shapes of the living things around us change as they grow. We’re aware at this time of year of growth and life, and the riot of colour that rings out from various spring-flowering bulbs and blossom. So light and warmth bring life and enjoyment, which leads me (finally!) to the point of today’s post.
