Willard Metcalf’s 1907 oil painting, *Buds and Blossoms*, depicts a serene landscape in the early spring. The artist, known for his Impressionistic style, captures the subtle changes of light and color in nature. From the viewer’s perspective, a hillside slopes downwards towards a pond, with trees and shrubs in various shades of green, brown, and white. The painting’s muted palette creates a sense of tranquility and evokes the feeling of a calm and refreshing spring day.
