Springtime

Springtime is a sketch done with

 liquid pencil, watercolors and walnut ink. 

It was oversized and didn't fit well

into the printer so I photographed it.

Even still there is shadowing. A bit frustrating...

  Harrump... so, I might as well play

with it in Photoshop... 'cut out' was the first filter.

And then posterization.

 I quite liked the way the edge looks along the long arc.

Seeing my own excitement made me realize how important it is to my well being

to play for just a little while at the start of each day.

Of course some days I get so engrossed I make myself late to work,

but other days just a little play puts that needed smile on my face

 and the work day can begin.
