The painting features the blooming crabapple tree on the left, reaching toward the red beach plum on the right. I try to paint this miraculous puzzle of bloom mass every year. The painting is overall green. The figure\u2019s face, mid-path, is awash in a strange spring green, as if from light bouncing off shiny new growth. Reds contrast, mute, and structure the greens.
