Spring's Call

This weekend, I spotted a cardinal perched on a bare tree in our backyard. It was a nice reminder that, even in this snowy and cold winter, that Spring is inevitable and around the corner.

I couldn't get to my camera in time, but I was inspired enough by the site to try and "paint" a rendition of the scene in Photoshop. I'm not very good at digital painting, but I went for the look of bold strokes, almost bordering on impressionism.

I don't know art, but I know what I like, and me likey! The dollop of color in the black and white landscape is really striking, much like it appeared to you I'm sure.

Thanks. The splash of color was definitely what inspired it.

I could use some of that inspiration over this way. Just feeling very blah.
