Since Spring is supposed to be here where I live in the Pacific Northwest…
I created these three Spring Chicks:

Maybe youâd like to see my creative process for todayâs weird Wednesday birds.
I started with a watercolor background and pulled out some of its colors with paint sample cards. Â The name of the paint sample for yellow was âForsythiaâ which gave me the idea of Spring flowers! Â And since Easter was last Sunday… I thought of baby chicks!
I looked up baby chicks on the internet for a reference. Â Then I tore scrapbook paper for their bodies, cut old painted maps for their beaks and used three of the paint sample cards for their Spring hats. Â I drew their feet with pencils.

I added some pencil shading, black pen for their eyes with white highlights and Posca paint pens for dots on their hats. Â I used music notes for patches of flowers.
As I was writing, Happy Spring… I misspelled the word, âSpringâ so I just cut the word out of the background and added the word, âDay!â (No reason to fuss…)
I created a few âSpringâ flowers with more paint sample cards to complete my piece.  And added a sprinkle of buttons:

HAPPY DAY to you, no matter the weather or season!
Cheers! đ
