That's lovely. I like the colors and the first, brave flower.

Oh how beautiful! With just a few strokes of charcoal and pencils you've given us winter receding back into the mountains and spring proceeding apace with Mother Nature adding a little touch of color to the landscape with her little crocus. My snowdrops are up, and the tulip stems are shooting out, but only the snowdrops are blooming so far.

I'm SOOOOO tired of winter here! And more snow forecast for tomorrow. Sighhhhhhh ... But thank you for this lovely breath of Spring! I'm filled with hope just looking at it!

That makes me happy. :)

This is happiness and hope :) Very lovely drawing. Thank you!

I just love the tiny hints of green, and the brave burst of color in the flower--spring is on the way, but not all the way there as winter tries to linger.

Kind of like this winter! ;)

I like this, with the single colourful flower, when all around it is wintery.

This is really pretty! The mountains in the background are impressively realistic (so much conveyed in a few lines), and I love the way the flower is the one spot of brighter color here.

How beautiful! I love how the light and sparse colours indicate the new growth and the snow and chill still lingering in the mountains, while the promise and hope of the new season is so well expressed by the flower (whose name I don't know in English).

That feeling of relief when spring comes is known to most of us!
But it's also pleasant to think that this might be a scene in Ithilien, in that particular spring.
Thank you for sharing your drawing!

Very nice! The single flower is perfect and never a better year in recent memory in this country at least to be reminded that spring will eventually break through!

I love this! This certainly has been a winter in my area where seeing that first spring flower (just seen this week in my garden) is something I can really feel. This drawing really captures that joy.

That's lovely! The color on the flower just pops out.

I love so much about this - a beautiful landscape all on its own, but especially the little flower growing out of the snow is a wonderful and significant touch.
