I did the painting in watercolours on Strathmore 300gsm paper 18"x24". Then I did slight modifications usin g a couple of filters for light and colours and textures to arrive at this final product. Hope you'll like it.
Enjoy!

'Beautiful the sunshine's glow
On a gentle summer`s day
Bringing glee to every heart
With all sadness chased away

All the birds across the land
Play in ever gay delight
Flutt`ring through the leafy trees
Singing sweet farewells to night

Flowers bloom in full display
O so beauteous to our eyes;
Verdant fields spread far and wide -
Cotton clouds in azure skies

Noon-time shadows softly fade
`Neath the sun so high above;
All earth`s creatures dance and play
Full embraced in nature`s love

Summertime, O summertime
Splendid be your aspect fair
Bearing gladness in your train -
Joy to all who linger there.'
