C'est le Printemps !

(Depuis quelques jours déjà... 🤭)

#cuteart #spring
Gouache illustration of a cute sheep wearing a white, green and blue dress, a green bonnet and dusty pink low boots, standing in the middle of a lush green dreamy garden with huge pictures of dusty pink primroses here and there, and some forget-me-not flowers in the background. The sheep is smelling the scent of a bright yellow daffodil with a satisfied look on their face. At the top of the illustration are written the french words "C'est le Printemps !" which means "It's Springtime!".
