Spring has definitely sprung here in the Welsh borders!
The daffodils are coming out and in this painting, there are still a few snowdrops in the foreground!
These trees are in the grounds of a country house hotel, just across the border in Herefordshire, though the landscape is still very Welsh in character, being so close to the Black Mountains. The River Monnow, that gives its name to the county of Monmouthshire, runs through the grounds of the hotel, as do various cycle routes.
Much as I love the Springtime, I don't usually feel tempted to paint Spring landscapes. But something must have persuaded me to make an exception - probably the sunshine on the tree trunks!
