Rayne Thatch, North Road, Leigh Woods. C Lamb. 3rd April 2017 oil. Started the week painting these old twisted trees surrounding the thatched cottage on the edge of Leigh Woods.

Veteran Oaks, Stokeleigh camp, Leigh Woods. C Lamb. 6 April 17 oil pastel. Leigh Woods has more than 600 veteran trees. Before leaves shoot the knarled trunk structures are easy to see.
The first week of April 2017 brings unexpected warmth and the enjoyment of painting outdoors. No need for the indoor shelter of the Cheddar cottage. In gardens birch and even apple trees coming into leaf and some blossom nearly over. Many trees are now 2 weeks ahead but not oak and ash yet which are always last to leaf up.  Painted in gardens and also had two trips to Leigh Woods (National Trust), North Somerset.

Blossom Garden pond. C Lamb. 4th & 5th April 2017. oil. I was able to enjoy sitting outside to paint yellow marsh marigolds, primroses, kerria and white bird cherry surrounding the garden pond.
