The Gentlest Season

Warm and soft, spring is the gentlest season. I thought this color palette and the softness of this image combined nicely to convey that feeling.

By the way, I'd forgotten the beauty of this variety of tulips. I'm glad they're blooming well this year.

Mark, I kant stop admiring all the beautiful tolnalities of color that you have so well composed in the frame. Harmonious, delicate, soft, pastel colors, full of warm light. A feast for my eyes.
Take care.

Cool floral abstract, Mark. The varying shades of pastel reds in the tulip along with the soft focus convey your intentions beautifully.
