Venue: Catisfield Memorial Hall, Catisfield Lane Catisfield, Hampshire PO15 5NS

You are free to interpret this month's theme as you wish; what does spring mean to you? Does it hold memories for example, or is it all about newness and fresh starts? Please choose a variety of images to help you form your composition, and consider your colour palette - will the light in your painting need a different shade of yellow for example; spring may need more of a lemon yellow than the ochres of winter time.

I'm bringing along some spring flowers as a warm up exercise, focusing on colour-mixing, which you are then welcome to use within your main painting.
Looking back through art history, spring has been interpreted in many ways, but for me the overwhelming thoughts of spring lead me to the new light available after a dark winter, so below are some examples.
