SPRING

Colored pencil on paper

Spring is my favorite season. I love how it brings everything back to life after a long winter (not that winters are still cold and snowy—thanks, climate change—but they’re still kind of sad and lifeless). I love the sight of fresh green buds, the blooming of bright flowers, the cheerful melodies of birdsong, and the feel of a warm breeze.

But spring always seems to end too soon—either the rain sweeps away the blossoms, or it gets too hot for that true spring feeling. So, I decided to capture a bit of spring on paper, something that would last all year long.
