Spring!!

This is my picture of springtime, as you can probably already tell from the rabbit and flowers. in this picture, I drew lots of different flower, including some daisies. I drew these because flowers are one of the main features of spring. Also, they are pretty and fun and add a cool vibe to the scene. In addition to the flowers, I drew a rabbit because they come out during the spring and are a huge part of Easter. To bring an Easter-feel to the picture, I drew Easter eggs, which are fun and cute to see. Every object that I drew in this picture was drawn because they have to meaning of spring to me.
