Description As she runs through the wild flowers, different colors bloom into season and a flurry of creatures fly through the air while smelling the warm Summer air. The hills are endless and the blue skies carry songs that the Summer Queen sings of warm weather, bright mornings and starry nights! She sings to the land and it dances for her!

--

Hey again! This is the second painting I've done for the Queens of the Seasons! I hope you all enjoy it, I have been gone for awhile but I am ready to get painting again! I enjoyed painting this piece. This one was painted on Arches 12x16 Hot Press Paper with watercolor. I was able to finish it at an art show last week that I helped at. I want to say I spent around 45 - 50 some hours of this painting I hope you enjoy!

DavidHoffrichter In reply to Rita-Ria [2007-08-22 17:31:25 +0000 UTC]

haha I don't know if I want to leave the nest just yet, I mean it has a HDTV, a pool table, swimming pool I have it nice but most likely my next piece will be the spring queen I have a slight idea but nothing set in stone

such beautiful, striking colours! and the detail is beautiful. it does a wonderful job of setting a mood - i'm sitting here on a freezing, wet night, and seeing this i could almost swear i feel a warm breeze.

Absolutely breathtaking Ace! You are truly ready to jump out of the nest or be pushed out. We have to get a good scan of this though. There is so much subtle detail and color that is lost. I know what the original looks like and it is your best.

DavidHoffrichter In reply to yaamas [2007-08-22 16:01:16 +0000 UTC]

Thanks man, I agree, my scan is terrible, but I was itching to get it online. Maybe next time I'll put a preview in my scraps instead of the whole picture but I am looking forward to getting some prints

I can't even describe what this picture does to me - it would just sound too cheesy and cliche - the field of flowers is absolutely incredible!
