The Sketchbook Challenge: OPEN, April's theme

 It's my turn to work over at The Sketchbook Challenge to choose the theme for the month of April. As I've watched spring blossom all around me I've finally settled on an idea.
OPEN
 How many different ways can you interpret this theme?

"Stuff your eyes with wonder; live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories."  ~Ray Bradbury


Open your Eyes, your Heart, your Soul!

There is nothing more joyful than seeing the world through the eyes of an artist. Noticing the beautiful textures in the bark of a tree, the intricate lines in the cracks on the sidewalk. Be open to the beauty that surrounds you! 

Draw, create. Then head over to the Sketchbook Challenge flickr group and post your work - fun prizes are available to participants at the end of the month. Here's information on how TSC works.
