Watercolour by Alexandra Blum with trees in full summer leaf and sunlight expanding over buildings with birds gliding through the space

Alexandra Blum, ‘Summer 2025’, watercolour on paper, 23 x 30.5 cm, 2025.

As summer progressed, I slowly watched the undulating flight of birds over the tree canopy and roof tops, the building site on the left seemed to shrink in comparison to the tree canopy.
