We still have a few leaping lambs etc coming in for the March challenge but, as April issues are in the shops now, shall we start with a new one? For something a bit different be inspired by this poem by Debra Squyres: Paint me a day With lemon squeezed yellow Lime green meadows Beneath bluebell skies mellow. Brush in the shoots of daffodils sunny blooms delegating room for a robins red belly plumes. Stroke in this scene daisies white with sunny smiles altering this trial of winter's cold, but for awhile. Looking forward to seeing what you all make of this one!

And Vincent Joined in the Challenge! My very quick take on the latest challenge, decided to splash some thick paint around for a change. Great therapy!

Nicely done, Alan. I'm having a go today, and as suggested in a certain dvd, I'm giving myself an hour, outdoors, well, it is a challenge :)

This Alla Prima is a bit of a tackle. I've used the board before hence the small lumpy bits, a few flies, and a bit of fern on a daffodil.

This is my entry and I confess it's an older one I've re-worked but it so seems to fit the bill. It's so stupidly simple that it's one of my favourite works.

My initial attempt is based on a photo I took on Sunday. So we have the colours and subject matter in this rural scene. The church clock represents the passing day and bare trees winter. This must be poor having to explain everything, will try not to be to literal with the next one.
