the colors are blooming

I saw flowers popping up in Millenium Park a few days ago.  This crazy winter/spring weather is confusing the flowers and the birds that won't stop chirping.  It has been a mild winter, but I still can't wait for spring, much like the birds and buds.  Sunshine, green grass, colorful tulips in the medians...can't go wrong when colors start showing themselves after a few months hibernation.  In this spirit I've been migrating from strictly black and white drawings to adding splashes of color here and there.  Drawing with color is rare for me, but I'm finding the exploration real satisfying.  Here is a look at my color progression, the first four are from last semester, the rest following are from this past week.
