Every spring, bluebells appear as if by magic. But they are not appearing on their own. They are part of a brief seasonal relationship between the woodland floor, the trees above them, the returning sun, and the changing spring weather.

And that is what makes them such a good subject for Creative Connections.

Today’s connection begins with Claude Monet standing in front of something very ordinary: a haystack. Then it moves to a cathedral façade. Then to a winter walk under a vivid blue sky. Then to a summer field where the tips of tall grasses seem to blush red against a wash of grey-green.

At first these things might seem completely unrelated. A painting. A walk. A field. 

But they’re not unrelated at all.

They’re all part of the same story: how light changes colour, and how the eye and brain turn that changing light into the world we think we see.
