First of all, thank you very much for your detailed - and very kind - comment.
It's the type of conversational piece that a doodler like me is looking for, I think.
You're the second person to tell me the colours look more autumn than spring, actually. And I couldn't agree with you more. (I -did- say that "I realised I can't do Spring justice, right?
) But I am really glad that you took notice of the composition and the movement in the picture over the details such as the facial expressions. There really wasn't much in ways of expression on this guy's face, but his gestures spoke more. I have a bad habit of wearing a coat but leaving it unbuttoned so that it would flap in the wind. There's something exhilarating about that feeling as if you are almost able to fly. That was the kind of feeling I wanted to bring to this piece, because in spring even the snow birds will wake up and spread their wings to fly. And I am really glad to hear that this was what had captured your attention.
Once again, thank you!
