Summer Nicole, mixed media on canvas, 9″ x 9″

Summer is here, the air is warm, and the long brown cold spell has turned to rich greens and brilliant blues that feed our eyes here in Colorado, after a long winter starved of a wider color palette.

Girls in dresses on bikes ride by.

Here is a little birthday gift for my friend Nicole, who always brightens my day when I see her long beautiful hair and big smile riding by on her cruiser bike.
