Spring Run Wild

 My last greeting card is another cheery spring scene. It was one of those leftover paint jobs as well--definitely blue and white run wild! I used a number of scrubby brush strokes to create all the trees, and used such brilliant oranges, yellows, and purples that I had to tone it down with white. At first it seemed it was going to be a fall scene, but I decided to make those brilliant colors into buds instead of leaves. And then the seeming blobs of red and blue in the grass are nice suggestions of tulips and hyacinths. The little white bridge and bench seem to add a personal touch--a much-needed calming effect. This would be perfect for any spring birthday or anniversary.
