''Spring, at all its stages, has an energy that engages us with the outside world.''Spring Unfurled is the first in a stunning seasonal quartet from beloved printmaker and illustrator Angela Harding.''Seasonal change has always been a great inspiration for my artwork. I love the changing light that brings new colours and smells. The seasons are nature''s clock, bringing birds from distant shores to nest and breed in our gardens. So it is hard to say exactly when one season stops and the other begins; the changes are not necessarily gradual but come in fits and starts. Seasons have no regard for the official times written down in a calendar. Spring, more than any other of the seasons, is like this.''This pocket-sized series takes readers on a journey through the seasons, reflecting Angela''s view as the nature around her transforms and evolves over the months. Taking in landscapes across the UK, from views from her home studio in Rutland to the Scottish wilderness, via the low-lying marshlands of Suffolk and the windswept hills of Yorkshire, the beautiful illustrations and evocative imagery of the prose make this the perfect book for nature lovers and art lovers everywhere.Featuring Angela''s most beloved prints, alongside Angela''s observations and inspirations, Spring Unfurled, Summer''s Hum, Falling into Autumn and Winter''s Song are a joyful celebration of nature and wildlife across the UK at all times of year.
