🌷 Springtime in art 🌷

It's spring! The season brings budding flowers as the days get longer and we all wake up from our winter slumber. From artist Charles Mahoney's connection to his garden to Marianne North's depictions of plants from around the world and from blooming marvellous flowers in art, to seven British artists inspired by Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers', embrace the optimism of the new season with these springtime stories.
