In The Garden

Acrylic painting on Canvas.

Inspired by Vivaldi's Four Seasons - Spring

The first concerto of the Four Seasons is Spring, describing its freshness and beauty. Spring is a solo concerto with 3
movements: quick, slow, quick. The first movement includes birdsong and a spring storm; the second a shepherd who sleeps with his faithful dog by his side and the third is a lively spring dance. The quick movements are written in Ritornello form, which literally means “returning”. In this form a main theme is played by the orchestra at the beginning of the piece and then is kept returning to after each solo section.
