Capturing Summer

By far (so far) the best painting I have EVER done. And I am so very proud of it. I'm still amazed with how well I did especially in such a short time (and estimated 6-7 hours in fact.)
This was commissioned by a family member as a birthday present, and needless to say I was very reluctant to hand it over in exchange for something as fleeting as money, but at least I got a digital copy...at least...oh the struggles of a poor artists trying to get a foot up in the world, ya know? 
Simple acrylic on a simple 18X24" stretched canvas, for those who care and/or are curious
