A Sign of Spring turned out turned out to be kind of an unusual composition. I tend to let my drawings turn into whatever they feel like, and this particular specimen of abutilon that I studied felt like a drooping little plant, so hopefully that was a feeling that I managed to get across. This is a beautiful plant with vibrant red and yellow flowers, and part of what I tried to do was capture the delicate softness of the petals that contrasted with the rougher leaves.
