Watercolour and Egg Tempera Paintings by celebrated New Brunswick painter David McKay, RCA, reflects on the transition and beauty of this season, the bridge from a cold winter to a sunshiny, blooming spring.
All the earth is fairy green,
And the sunlight filmy gold,
Full of ecstasies unseen,
Full of mysteries untold.
Who would not be out-of-door,
Now the spring is here once more!
– An excerpt from Bliss carmen’s poem, In Early May
