Daily Paper Prompt #11: Seasons
Sat, August 11, 2012 at 11:49AM 
Draw three vertical lines to separate your card into four sections. Label each section if you wish. Use any order. Add color or a sketch to represents each of the 4 seasons... spring, summer, fall, winter. If you live in an ultra cold or ultra hot climate, just exxaggerate the seasons so that you can indicate differences.
I used watercolors to try to depict the colors that represented each season in north Texas. In the spring, there are still some browns as all of the deciduous trees haven't yet blossomed with leaves. In "winter" we have some pansies and other flowers, so I tried to envision the coldest part of winter.
As an alternative, you can paint how the seasons make you FEEL in terms of color.

This weekend, I'm going to catch-up on the past few prompts. I'm really looking forward to Seasons & Stitching on a card. The Game prompt will be tough. But, part of what I'm loving about the challenge is some of the tougher (for me) prompts, make me think & do something I ordinarily wouldn't do.
The daily paper prompts definitely get me out of my comfort zone, but allow for enough leeway that it's okay if you collage instead of paint for example. You're the artist.
In the spirit of DPP, I don't think about the prompt too much, I just do it and enjoy the ride.
The results always amaze me!
I had a bit of a stuckness feeling over this one, but then, once I decided to Just DO It!! already, it was totally easy and actually showed me something I'd never see so clearly!!

Getting back to normal (sort of) after a major computer crash with the daily paper prompt "seasons."
Like all lovers of paper, I have so many themed, decorative papers including seasonal.
This prompt reminded me a sentence in the children's book Frederick by Leo Lionni, and I am paraphrasing from memory,
"Aren't we glad the seasons are four?
Think if we had one less or one more!"
