Spring Rain


A quick blind contour for Illustration Friday's theme "Spring". The reds came out motley, probably due to the low resolution and the large areas, but I think you get the idea. For better clarity visit my Flickr account.

For some reason I just felt I needed to illustrate in blind contour rather than traditional as in Simple Simon.

I miss the weekly BC challenges at InkFinger however I think Blind Contour First Friday April is this Friday coming up, YEAH!

Hey Maggie! This is wonderful. So full of color you would almost think the sun was shining. I guess it is, from the inside out. Just lovely!
