My natural rhythms ebb and flow with the light of the seasons. Our granddaughter was our guest this year during the summer solstice and she is definitely a symbol of the increase of summer's light and energy. The reference photos were shot spontaneously as I crafted a headdress for her from weedy blooms that had appeared in the garden. She is a natural poser with a bit of theatrics involved in all endeavors. I actually had no idea that the image would evolve into a painting until I looked back at the photos taken during her visit. Here in northeast Ohio, we enjoy and celebrate the turning of the seasons with joy as the light, and the season, affect our daily routines, our cooking and our bedtimes! It was a welcome surprise.
