Spring will come

Image description
We are at the end of the winter, and in the little vegetable garden in the rear of the house the reed sticks are ready for the incoming seedlings.

Description of how this image was created
I didn't knew personally Steve but I have followed this works and I find somehow adequate this image.

This is for me an unconventional subject, and is quite similar to the little vegetable garden I can see from my window.
A version with a better blur, more realistic terrain and grass blades is still rendering, so I post the last one.

The whole scene is procedural. Wall, reeds and tiles are generated by macro.
Trees and grass blades come from Gilles Tran's MakeTree macros.
Thanks to Philippe and to Xplo Eristotle: bricks and tiles textures are based on their examples.
Gimp was used to add the signature.

1.   30-04-2010 Very nice work. The textures are a bit too clean imo. [ThomdeG] 2.   18-04-2010 [SMcA] Winter: death, Spring: life. I like it. Maybe a bit clean for a garden, though.
