    This is such an excellent painting! It really captures the mood of footloose and fancy free summer fun.

    Those were the days; flying freely in the summer splay of sun and water :) Very beautiful.

    This is such an original idea, and the children are so happy in their freedom. Wonderful illustration!

    Thanks for the feedback. I’m still playing with different banner ideas. I may very well return to that one…do you mean the digital illustration with the upside down babies or the “fiery” night shot?
