The beauty of Spring is always a joy for me to see. I love to drive around and spot blossoms. My father loved such drives and I've many fond memories of going on Spring drives with him. Although he's passed, I feel him with me still, and know he's enjoying the blossoms as well. This is a digitally painted work that I used an electronic drawing tablet. I used a Wacom tablet with wireless pen stylus ( not a computer mouse). I used Corel's Painter X software which allows me to select the art medium, brush sizes, colors, etc. as I draw, paint, etc. I still have to do all the work, I use photos at times for reference only. This is not a photo or a manipulation. If you look at the close up you can see the brush strokes and where I blended colors in the palette. I love the way I can create textures like with real brushes. I hope you enjoy the many beauties of Spring.
