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!

I was beginning to worry myself if I would ever upload something within this year hopefully with school partly out of the way I will be able to paint on a more regular basis!

You have made so much improvement over the course of your membership to DA. Your recent pieces with the "seasons queens" theme have been very masterful.
