November, 1902, to May, 1903

Subjects for May.

I.--Silver and green. Go out into the nearest orchard, and sit low down among the long grass until you can see a delicate fringe of feathery grasses against the sky. Note the sharp note of the young green, and the blue grey lights on it reflected from the sky. Paint into your study any wild flowers that may accidentally grow in the grass.

II.--Blossoms. Do not try to paint a whole tree in blossom. Go rather close up to one branch, and see the tender pink, or grey, or white, with the dark stems against a bit of blue sky. Take a small bit, and study it hard.

III.--Draw some bare branches, naming the tree, either in pencil or on a bit of brown paper with coloured chalk.
