Welcome back to Summerlands Art! We both realise it's been a long time since we last posted here and we are delighted to be able to finally rectify the situation. This painting by Julia, 'Escape the Chaos', is the first of a number of new paintings which we will be putting up. In these weird and scary times, we can still take pleasure in watching the birds soar above it all. We admire and envy their freedom in the skies. Stay safe and well.
