Illustration Friday - SUMMER

As a child brought up in the tropics, the word ‘summer’ didn’t mean much to me until I was sent to boarding school in England. You only have to experience the range of English weather to appreciate that nothing feels quite a summery as an English summer’s day. To be able to feel grass under bare feet, to slough off heavy winter clothes, to lie down in a meadow way out field in a game of rounders because you’re so hopeless at catching anyone out and just gaze at the summer wild flowers and listen to the birds.
This picture is my second try with the free software application ArtRage.
