The temperatures slowly begin to rise again as icy winter departs. Artists are not immune to spring feelings either, and they examine the blossoming life in a variety of ways. From a wistful gaze out of the window to an abundance of flowers, the works radiate brightness and colour. One swallow does not make a summer, but as we view these pictures, we can feel the first rays of sunshine and succumb to the pleasurable anticipation of the warmer season of the year.
