A Sense of Spring with VanGogh and Rachmaninoff

The month of March is managing to “come in like a lion and go out like a lamb” once again as spring is beginning to show its graceful arrival.  Here is a photo of some early springtime blooms against a bright and beautiful blue sky that I took on an evening stroll the last Sunday of March and shared on my Instagram profile with notes about “VanGogh vibes” and the composition’s reminded inspiration of Vincent VanGogh’s famous “Almond Blossom”​ painting.

I note this photo as an Instagram share because Instagram allows me to add a song to my posted image and as an additional expression of the inspired springtime feels Van Gogh’s painting and images bring, another very favorite, Rachmaninov and his Symphony No. 2 { Symphony No. 2 in E Minor, Op. 27: Ill. Adagio specifically} accompanies the picture in the post with some musical artwork that brings with it a similar springtime sense filled with the season’s beauty, peace, and hopefulness that Vincent VanGogh's and Sergei Rachmaninoff’s incredibly beautiful art reflects to me.
