Curtains of yellow-green willow fall almost to the water, and the river below breaks their reflection into soft, shimmering ribbons. Lily pads float near the bank, where mossy stones, white cow parsley and a few blue irises gather at the edge. On the far side, blossom trees and a pointed church spire glow faintly in the cool morning light.
For a bedroom it offers calm, and in a home office it adds a welcome sense of air and light. The River in Blossom collection holds nine paintings of this spring river and its village, and this willow scene pairs well with The River Inn and Rowboat Beneath the Willow.
