May

This charming 19th-century oil painting by British artist Theodore Hines (b.1859) depicts a leafy woodland view in May.

It’s Spring and the verdant foliage is enlivened with radiant pockets of white blossom captured in delicate marks. Hines probably worked outside, pitching his easel alongside a dusty track, which winds its way beneath a canopy of tones. In the distance, beyond the brow, a glimpse of bright light.

In 1880, a year after producing this piece, he debuted at the Royal Academy with ‘Spring’. The bewitching early blooms clearly capturing his imagination.
