I'm excited that Spring is technically here, even though there is still a lot of snow in my yard. We had a big snowstorm in my area about a week and a half ago, that left 18" of the wet and heavy stuff in its wake. Fortunately the sun is high in the sky now, and what's left is melting rapidly.
I love this image of mourning doves sheltering in a large pine outside my window. Everything is values of grays and white, and the birds have balanced themselves well in the composition.
During the storm, I was working on a new block print of a decidedly more colorful image.
I had fun texturizing the background of this print with a pattern of leaves overall. Here is the final result!
"Daffodils"
5"x 6.5"
Enjoy the longer hours of sunlight! Happy Spring!
