Is it Spring yet? Or are we going directly to Summer?

I sure hope we did not go from Winter directly to Summer, and skip Spring.  Was really hoping for a few days of warm, not hazy, hot, and humid weather.

So, I had the idea to do a series of Spring-esque version of my neighbor's tree.  Each to be done in watercolor with a different ink.  For this, the first series, I decided to use silver shimmering ink.  It is tough to see in the orange tree (and easiest to see in the purple tree), but each of the inks shimmer when hit with light. Originally, I was going to do these on 6x8 inch 140 lbs watercolor paper and fold them in half to make cards to give out.  Instead, I used the 4x6 and made post cards.  Will probably do a few more using watercolor and sheening inks.  What do you think cool or cheesy?
