I'll change it out for a different quote on my living room wall when autumn rolls around, but while we have an abundance of green things growing, I'm celebrating them!
Right after I finished this artwork, I was commissioned to do an illustrated hand-lettered Bible verse. Since I was given a very tight deadline, I decided to simply modify the border design I had just used for my springtime quote. This time the flowers were customized to include daisies (a favorite of the recipient of the piece) and watercolor was added.

This one is a bit long but it is a good one for spring: "i thank You God for most this amazing day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes" e.e.cummings
