Description Spring, the new beginning! This is a little drawing inspired by Sharpened Edge May's challenge: "Why I love Spring". The little twist here is that my Spring is not a young beautiful girl. Spring comes every year as long as the planet is revolving around the sun, so why should she be so very young! I think a nice Grandma is more likely.

I love the face on that little rabbit! And I like your concept of Spring : )

This is so beautifully done! I adore all the colors and shading here. The gradients fading from yellow to blue is very pleasing to see in all the different tones.

thank you very much! I was lucky the paper didn't melt, it's not very thick and gradients need a lot of watering

ahh!!! It's Mother Holle! Β That is one of my favorite faerie tales of all time! I know it's suppose to be spring and Mother Holle brings winter snow but, can you blame me? lol

Mother Holle is my favourite too, and if this is how you imagine her, it's very much OK to me. She's wise old women; maybe she just acts according to the season.

It's so adorable! Like an old illustration to a children book. It's the first time I see Spring drawn as an old lady and I love it to bits <3

thank you very much! I have already seen here on DA an elderly lady in similar role (I'm not sure, was she Spring or some kind of flower/vegetation fairy? anyway, she didn't look young...) so the idea itself isn't so revolutionary. But my Spring Grandma looks different

A nice grandma who sits on the porch with her kitty cat she pets and offers milk to.
