Must be Spring by Paul (Dixie) Dean

Comments

I used paint leftover in a couple of pallets to make this one. The size is due to having quite a few off cuts of watercolour paper when I’ve cut larger sheets, decided to have them as my mini landscapes .

Very beautiful Paul, I like your wide format landscapes. And the interesting stories that go with most of your paintings.

The perfect shade of blue for bluebells Paul. I think the NT lady was correct 😊

12.5 x 30.5 cm watercolour of a spring woodlands scene , I called it Must be Spring as a lady volunteer with the National Trust used to say every year must be spring the bluebells are out . No matter how we pointed out to here well before the bluebells were out other plants were growing , no no it’s not till the bluebells come out . Told to her by her grandmother when sh was a child and no one was going to change her mind .
