Celebrating spring in nature and art

It's been a wet spring so far which means some damp and misty walks but also glorious wild flowers, not only some which we didn't see last year but also growing in rich profusion and a particular intensity of colour.
Lucy and I created a new painting when it was too wet to walk, inspired by our dark and starry nights, it's called.... La madre de las estrellas. The gold leaf was a challenge!
Maybe we will do one for every season.

Here are some random shots of the flowers shooting up every day on the finca.....
