These simple flowers are often thought of as annoying weeds, luckily that view is changing. As one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring they are a beacon of hope. Their vibrant yellow petals remind us of the warmth of sunshine or strength of a lion. Especially those who are struggling with depression, mental health or just a rough spot in life. If all of that wasn�t enough to brighten your day. Dandelion seeds are one of the most whimsical and joyful things in spring. Many believe you can make a wish and blow the seeds into the wind. The idea of seeds granting wishes is full of hope. I drew Eliana based in her realistic colors and shapes with designs to enhance her natural whimsy.
