Spring in Germany

I painted this environment piece from a photo reference, aiming to capture the feel of early spring in Germany—the warmth, excitement, and joy that lifts the spirit after a long, cold winter.
From an artistic point of view, I was trying to slightly exaggerate the shapes and give the piece a stylized look while keeping the lighting somewhat realistic.
I also challenged myself NOT to use line art, to step out of my comfort zone and make the values work without them.
