Early spring walks



We have now had almost a week of lockdown in the most beautiful weather. This is a view of one of our local reservoir lakes where I have been walking every day, while we are still allowed outside. Almost all the bays are occupied by fishermen who make the most of their enforced leisure time.

It seems to me that the air smells fresher now than before the lockdown. It calls to mind holidays in the mountains. As there are hardly any planes going overhead, the air quality must be better now than in normal times.

The three birds in the sky are a late addition to the painting: I noticed a splash of paint there and turned it into a bird and then gave it two more companions.
