A spring tree in bloom by lemasney<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m very proud of this sketch. It’s one that I feel succeeds in color, in tone, and in pictorial illustration, but beyond that I just kind of like it. It reminds me of what I love in the spring.<\/p>\n

In Inkscape, I created the branch with the pencil tool and grouped the paths, and then duplicated the group twice, and rotated and blurred the duplicates. I made a single flower shape with the calligraphy tool, then duplicated, rotated and resized the original to create the rest. I then gave a blurry blush to each of them with the calligraphy tool.<\/p>\n

Today is beautiful in central New Jersey. I hope it’s beautiful where you are too.<\/p>\n
