Jewell this is a very expressive picture of you laying on the grass loving it up, already to enjoy the day. Paying no mind to the insects they are there to enjoy the day too. Very nicely presented. ray

    Lol no thoughts of insects whatsoever. Haha. I used to go to Colorado often when I lived in the SW and loved that mosquitos weren’t a problem.

    No thoughts of insects, you featured them and included them in this as I see. And I thought it to be cool. Great idea any how. Ray

Your artwork resounds with summer vibes! I like how happy this all feels from the smile of contentment on the gals face to the beautiful flowers and that one peek of blue on the edge. We can all relate to this feeling of happiness of good weather! Nice details, excellent vibrant colors and a fun theme to enjoy. Well done and best wishes for the contest!

This is very uplifting , this barefoot girl. Is celebrating summer! It appears that she rode her bike and came upon this field with green grass and flowers , she just loves flowers as we see by the flower patterned pink dress she wears, she has such a happy expression as she lays on the grassy field all stretched out . I see butterflies and a dragon fly enjoying this field of flowers too.
This is a wonderful entry for this contest, this is how I feel when summer is here. I spend as much time as possible outdoors.
Very well created to show the joy !
This is so much fun!
Well presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

Vibrant colours and unique textures and lines stand out in the well-thought-out artwork. You framed it well, and the light, shadows, colours, and composition worked well. Good luck!

Jewell, this illustration of a young, jovial girl lying in the grass surrounded by flowers and butterflies immediately conveys a sense of joy and carefree bliss. The vibrant colors and playful composition create an inviting and heartwarming scene that captures the essence of a perfect sunny day. A well created and fitting entry for the contest. Good Luck

    Kathy, I’m glad to see this as a heartwarming scene because I literally let my inner child play as I created this one! I feel this every time the warmer weather begins!

Hi Jewell, someone is definitely enjoying a lovely summer day! Sometimes you just want to soak up the magic of a lovely day and enjoy it for as long as you can! I can totally relate to this image. Love the field of flowers, butterflies and view of the lake below. Can't wait till spring and summer return. Truly a great image for the contest! Good luck my friend! :o) Nancy

    Nancy thrilled that you got a kick out of this one because I let my inner child play when I created her! The elevation that you see here, is exactly how I feel when we finally start to get warm weather again! When I saw this contest, I just had to enter this fun scene. I have some beach scenes too with girls but, she’s my most fun one!
    I really appreciate the extra shining star!
