IA Spring

Spring...the hopeful season...sunshine, blue sky, fresh breezes, kites,
children playing, lilacs, ducklings, butterflies, tulips, daffodils, bees,
lambs, green grass, dandelions...
This image was a bit of a new adventure for me as I did more 'painting'
with brushes in PSE 8. Starting with the line drawing I painted by adding 
bits and pieces of photos and then filling in by brushing on layers of color
in the remaining areas.  I am especially pleased with the way the little
girls dress turned out using a cut from a chintz image.  :)

    Oh this is cute. Takes me back to an easier time, When seeing how high I could fly was the best part of my day.
