Artist's Comments

Created in MS Paint

This is Cherry Hill, a tiny island of green in my part of Boston that was recently destroyed and developed. It wasn't big, it wasn't pristine, it wasn't maintained all the time. It was however a minor sanctuary, a place where I went sledding as a kid, and a drinking spot in high school (from which I escaped with a Boston Police cruiser at my heels more than once, even though I didn't drink! Guilt by association ). I will miss it dearly, but now it lives on in MS Paint form!


Thanks to everyone who's faved this and all the great comments! I'm honored by the Daily Deviation!

The details of the trees and homes to the portrayal of movement in the grass is all exceptional! Did you notice it was all done in MS Paint? Be sure to take a look at this gallery for similarly astounding pieces.

gorgeous. i love how the border resembles one of my grandma's cross-stitch sampler patterns!

anyway, I love the story that goes with this picture; the affection you have for this place is clearly evident in your attention to detail and patience. i'm in awe!

Thanks very much for your comments! I didn't know what the border design should be because I usually don't do stuff like that, so if you look closely, you'll notice it's actually made up of plastic six-pack rings and beer can taps, which were littered around Cherry Hill. The place definitely wasn't the Garden of Eden but I loved it nonetheless!

Oh wow :'D

I'd love to critique, but all I'd be able to say is HOLYCRAPWOW.

The ONLY thing is I think that the closest tree needs a little more detail... it seems a bit flat compared to the rest of the critique.

Other than that, amazing! :heart:
