Lighter Days
The impact of the pandemic, the long winter and a third lockdown has meant that spring has been even more welcome than in a normal year. The comfort that we take from the natural world has been a heartening focus for many of us. This second online exhibition of SWLA artists' work is loosely themed around the lengthening days of spring and the inspiration that member artists have found in nature during these unusual times.
