Craig McCann

Feb 6 / Craig McCann

This was created to symbolise the awakening of Spring. The low sun speaks of shorter days, the blossom just starting to show on the trees and the birds are singing because the warmth is coming after the long winter.

The black dog can stand for playfulness or equally solitude or even meloncholy, which is why it's positioned towards the edge of the illustration. It is on it's way out of the scene to make way for happier times. The crocus are coming out and nature feels optimistic and enlivened again.

This was created digitally in Photoshop.
