Looking forward to spring looking back at the setting sun.

Mr Bear is taking it all in. They are going to Grannies for dinner armed with a bouquet of tangerine tulips, looking back at a globe of fire setting.

The inspiration for tangerine coming from
Tangerine color challenge also for illustration friday forward challenge & paint party friday.
