Hooray for Summer! I can say that because I've got a great air coditioner! But I love those long days! Your picture really captures the feeling! Cute puppies below too-
Kate, it was so much fun chatting with you yesterday -thanks for listening to my excited ramblings of good news! Great job capturing the sunlight on the skintones on this one.
this is a beautiful piece! and lovely expression on the kids face!
and ohh its summer in this side of the world, but then again the rainy season came too early it spoils the last quarter of our summer vacations.. anyway there is always next year. and as i tell my 6 year old son, the rain just wants to water the plants and trees because summer has been too hot.
I agree 100% Bing on the great weather! Very nice illustration and I like the perspective you have chosen to use. Really makes it look like he is swinging so high!
