Crocus

It's been such an intense week, I sketched this from a photo reference because of its cheerful and bright feeling ...

Very Pretty! I love that color, it is very cheerful with the little orange centers. BTW it's been snowing all day here today!

I'm sorry to hear you've been having a rough week but I'm delighted to see this lovely harbinger of spring in my favorite color. It's so perky and bright!

Lin, this is absolutely beautiful! You captured the transluscence of the petals so perfectly -- I think this is one of my favorites so far!
