the first day of spring

It IS beautiful, Jennifer, and thank you!
A beautiful drawing, I love it! We thought we had spring a few days ago, but now winter has returned... Oh well, it won´t be long now...
beautiful little sketch...
I've always liked your work, it is a nice mixture of pen and ink and other medians, keep up the good work!
You have nice clean style. You should make graphic novels... ;)
Very pleasing to the eye! And if I didn't know better, I would think you were sitting on the northern shores of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state.
Well, it's a gorgeous day today in northern California! - Barbara
I love the rich greens you used in this...and I adore that little bench. I have decided that would fast become a favorite place of mine.
Ahhh...soon the warm breezes of the desert will warm your heart!
Beautiful depiction of spring...
Speaching of Northern California, I am there now on a road trip.
I like your simple sketch:)
This is lovely. I really enjoy coming here and seeing your work. Spring in Maine sounds a lot like our spring here, we are way up in the mountains. Daffodils have bloomed and snow is in the forecast. Spring here is slow coming but wonderful when it finally does :)
