Spring II is the second illustration for the experimental series for combing collage, gouache, and digital painting.
The subject was inspired by a scene I saw in early March 2022, while there was ankle-height snow in the backyard. That was a quiet and gloomy morning, everything was silent, yet I saw a series of footprints ( from a stray cat that lives on our block) on the rooftop, from deep snow toward a melting puddle then reaching the yard with new sprouts struggling coming out from the ground.
I found it quite amusing, a simple scene that shows the coming of spring.
